Bandwidth Splitter is a program extension for Microsoft ISA Server that supplements it with new features to allow more rational sharing of the existing Internet connection bandwidth and distributing it among all users and servers according to preset rules.

The principal features of Bandwidth Splitter are:

• Limiting of the Internet connection bandwidth used by individual users and hosts, as well as groups of users and hosts (traffic shaping, throttling)
• Setting up quotas for the maximum allowable Internet traffic use (in megabytes) for a set period of time (a day, a week or a month) for individual users and hosts, as well as groups of users and hosts
• Real-time monitoring of all users and their connections through ISA Server by the administrator, including the bandwidths used by individual users and connections

• Great real-time monitoring abilities let administrator to effectively control traffic usage (see screenshot)

• Users can track their internet activity in real-time using special utility (see screenshot)
