• Real-Time Monitoring. NetGraph displays current network traffic for all active connections. Information is updated continuously with configurable intervals. Visual graphs allow observation of network usage spikes and trends.
• Per-Process Analysis. The application groups network traffic by individual processes. It shows which specific programs are using the network connection. This feature identifies applications with high bandwidth consumption.
• Detailed Statistics. NetGraph collects quantitative metrics on network traffic. It provides data on bytes sent and received, transfer speed, and connection duration. Statistics can be exported for later analysis.
• Traffic History. The tool maintains a historical record of network usage. Users can review data from previous periods to identify patterns. The history includes information on traffic spikes and average usage.
• Customizable Filtering. NetGraph allows filtering of displayed traffic according to multiple criteria. Users can exclude specific processes or connection types. Filters are applied in real time without affecting data collection.
• Traffic Alerts. The software can be configured to generate notifications when defined thresholds are exceeded. Alerts are triggered by excessive bandwidth consumption or unusual connections. Notifications appear as pop-up windows or sounds.
• Protocol Visualization. NetGraph differentiates between different network protocols such as TCP, UDP and ICMP. It shows which protocols are being used by each application. Information includes local and remote ports for each connection.
• Multiple Interface Monitoring. The application supports simultaneous monitoring of several network interfaces. It includes Ethernet adapters, Wi-Fi and VPN connections. Users can select which interfaces they wish to monitor.
• Minimal Resource Consumption. NetGraph is optimized to use a minimal amount of system resources. It operates efficiently in the background without affecting performance. The interface consumes limited graphical resources.
• Interface Customization. Users can modify the visual appearance of graphs and the interface. Colors, scales and displayed elements can be changed. Customization includes transparency and always-on-top options.
• Data Export. NetGraph allows exporting traffic information in CSV and XML formats. Exported data includes detailed statistics and timestamps. This feature facilitates external analysis and report generation.
• Silent Mode. The application offers an operating mode without visual interactions. It runs completely in the background with minimal notifications. This mode is suitable for continuous monitoring without distractions.

NetGraph was developed by WinTools Software. Development began in 2008 as a complementary tool for system optimization suites. The application is written primarily in C++ with Assembler components for low-level optimizations.
