Packet Master and Packet Charger
The cost of communication can be managed by monitoring the number of packets of information transmitted from each PC. If a PC exceeds a certain limit, the system can either issue a warning to the user or shut the PC out of the network.
Used in conjunction with Packet Charger, it enables the passengers onboard to use the Internet and other services by means of a coin-operated device.
