LittleBrother can also monitor network applications such as NetWare file transfer, Microsoft file transfer, Oracle and Sybase.

Using the programís comprehensive reports, administrators can choose to block unproductive sites for individuals or groups of users, limit certain Internet traffic so business traffic has more bandwidth, and automatically send and log warnings to users that violate school Internet access policies.
