The record

Purpose: The Windows tool monitors network traffic and applies bandwidth limits and quality-of-service rules.
Traffic rules: Rules can target IP and MAC addresses, TCP/IP ports, protocols and network interfaces, with prioritized bidirectional rate and usage limits.
Deployment: Centralized configuration is available from one network location, and end users usually need no client software installed.
Quotas and reports: Features include quotas, scheduling, email notifications, comprehensive usage reports and a live usage monitor.
DPI: The Enterprise edition detects IM, P2P file sharing, gaming and media streaming using deep packet inspection.
Windows support: Version 3.3.0 added Windows ARM64 support and made Windows 10 the minimum required version.
Integrations: The vendor says the product is compatible with Microsoft ISA Server and Internet Connection Sharing.
API and database: The service can be accessed through an XML-based API without official documentation, or through its standard SQLite 3 database.
Remote management: A Windows GUI management console can connect remotely to the service over TCP port 8701; the vendor says there is no web-based management interface.
Security controls: Settings allow administrators to set a logon password for the Bandwidth Control Service and a separate limited-access password.
Known limitation: The product FAQ describes lack of support for Windows bridged connections and recommends using its internal bridging instead.
Support: SoftPerfect offers technical support by email, a public forum and a personal contact centre.
Licence and updates: Paid licences are perpetual for the version purchased and include one year of free updates.
Intended users: SoftPerfect describes its network management software as serving businesses and individuals.
