Traffic consumption is interested in users who are deprived of the ability to connect unlimited Internet. Traffic controls special programs or using Windows capabilities.

Windows 8 allows you to control traffic without using additional programs. To activate the traffic counter, find the network connection icon on the taskbar. After clicking on the icon, you will open the "Network" window. Select an active connection and right-click. In the appeared window in the first line you will see "Display information about the intended use." Activate this item and in the future when you open the "Network" window, you will be visible to the statistics of the used volumes.

In earlier Windows products - 7 or XP, the process of checking the traffic is performed a little differently. After connecting to the Internet, you also click on the left-click on the connection icon and select the active network. Using the right-button, go to "Status". Here you will see the amount of incoming and outgoing traffic that is shown in bytes.

You can control the traffic using a free NetWorx 5.3.2 program. The program supports any kind of connections - wired, cable, mobile Internet. NetWorx shows incoming and outgoing traffic. You can see the statistics for the period of interest to you, as well as check the speed of the Internet connection. The program allows you to check how many traffic consumes each application.

NetWorx starts to consider your Internet traffic from the moment of installation. You can configure the program so that traffic activity is visible in the tray in the icon. Through the settings, open the Traffik tab, then check the necessary options as shown in the photo, and save the actions performed.

You can also set the quota. To do this, choose the type of quota, traffic, clock and units of measurement. After adjusting the size of the quota, click on "OK". When traffic flow approaches the restriction threshold, the program will warn you about it. This will avoid traffic recalculation.

Traffic control on mobile devices depends on the device system. For example, the Android system is able to calculate the incoming and outgoing traffic. To do this, select "Data Transfer" item in the settings and select the communication operator. You will open the window where the data of incoming and outgoing traffic will be displayed. In addition to checking the volume, you can set the limit on the use of traffic.
Control over traffic consumption will help avoid unnecessary costs. Even if you use unlimited Internet, periodically check your network activity. The dramatically increased consumption of traffic indicates that the virus or Troyan settled in the system.
