17.2 Show connections related to the selected process
One connection is represented by each line of the Connections window. These are net- work connections, not user connections (each client program can occupy more than one connection at a given moment).
The columns contain the following information:
Traffic rule
Name of the WinRoute traffic rule (see chapter 6) by which the connection was al- lowed.
Service
Name of transmitted service (if such service is defined in WinRoute — see chap- ter 12.3). If the service is not defined in WinRoute, the corresponding port number and protocol will be displayed instead (e.g. 5004/UDP).
Source, Destination
IP address of the source (the connection initiator) and of the destination. If there is an appropriate reverse record in DNS, the IP address will be substituted with the DNS name.
The following columns are hidden by default. They can be enabled through the Modify columns dialog opened from the context menu (for details, see chapter 3.2).
Source port, Destination port
Ports used for the particular connection.
Protocol
Communication protocol (TCP or UDP)
Timeout
Time left until automatic disconnection. The countdown starts when data traffic stops. Each new data packet sets the counter to zero.
Rx, Tx
Total size of data received (Rx) or transmitted (Tx) during the connection (in kilo- bytes). Received data means the data transferred from Source to Destination, trans- mitted data means the opposite.
Info
An informational text describing the connection (e.g. about the protocol inspector applied to the connection).
Information in Connections is refreshed automatically within a user defined interval or the Refresh button can be used for manual refreshing.
