The Internet Sessions page displays full details of active Internet sessions through your router. An Internet session is a conversation between a program or application on a LAN-side computer and a program or application on a WAN-side computer.
Local: The IP address and, where appropriate, port number of the local application.
NAT: The port number of the LAN-side application as viewed by the WAN-side application.
Internet: The IP address and, where appropriate, port number of the application on the Internet.
Protocol: The communications protocol used for the conversation.
State: State for sessions that use the TCP protocol:
NO: None -- This entry is used as a placeholder for a future connection that may occur.
SS:SYN Sent -- One of the systems is attempting to start a connection.
EST: Established -- the connection is passing data.
FW: FIN Wait -- The client system has requested that the connection be stopped.
CW: Close Wait -- The server system has requested that the connection be stopped.
TW: Time Wait -- Waiting for a short time while a connection that was in FIN Wait is fully closed.
LA: Last ACK -- Waiting for a short time while a connection that was in Close Wait is fully closed.
CL: Closed -- The connection is no longer active but the session is being tracked in case there are any retransmitted packets still pending.
