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￿CL: Closed -- The connection is no longer active but the session is being tracked in case there are any retransmitted packets still pending.

￿Priority: The priority given to packets sent wirelessly over this conversation by the WISH logic. The priorities are:

￿BK: Background (least urgent).

￿BE: Best Effort.

￿VI: Video.

￿VO: Voice (most urgent).
