ƒClick on the Internet Sessions link in the navigation drop-down menu. 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.

ƒLocal: The IP address and, where appropriate, port number of the local application.

ƒNAT: The port number of the LAN-side application as viewed by the WAN-side application.

ƒInternet: The IP address and, where appropriate, port number of the application on the Internet.

ƒProtocol: The communications protocol used for the conversation.

ƒState: State for sessions that use the TCP protocol.

oNO: None -- This entry is used as a placeholder for a future connection that

may occur.

oSS: SYN Sent -- One of the systems is attempting to start a connection.

oEST: Established -- the connection is passing data.

oFW: FIN Wait -- The client system has requested that the connection be stopped.

oCW: Close Wait -- the server system has requested that the connection be stopped.

oTW: Time Wait -- Waiting for a short time while a connection that was in FIN Wait is fully closed.

oLA: Last ACK -- Waiting for a short time while a connection that was in Close Wait is fully closed.

oCL: Closed -- The connection is no longer active but the session is being tracked in case there are any retransmitted packets still pending.

oBK: Background (least urgent).

oBE: Best Effort.

oVI: Video.

oVO: Voice (most urgent).
