HOW TO use the cFos Traffic Shaper with NAT32.
CFOS 8 will not install on systems that have the NDIS3PKT driver running, so BE SURE to uninstall NDIS3PKT and reboot Windows before installing cFos 8.After installing or upgrading the cFos Traffic Shaper Driver, a Windows reboot is required to restart the WinPkFilter Driver.
Introduction
CFOS V.8 is an advanced Traffic Shaper that dynamically allocates network bandwidth amongst networking applications. This speeds up overall network performance and ensures that high-bandwidth apps such as FTP do not cause starvation in other communicating applications.
CFOS also functions as a Firewall for your DSL Connection. It differs from the Windows Firewall in that it examines both incoming and outgoing traffic, and it filters all DSL traffic, not just Winsock traffic as does the Windows Firewall.
