Capture window: Session Statistics pane

A session designates the data that is sent to or from the local computer. The Session Statistics pane displays statistics on a per-session basis. The pane also identifies both participants in a session and displays how much information passed in either direction between them.

This pane appears in the left-center portion of the Capture window, and it is on by default.

Network Address 1: The network address of the first participant in a network session.
1 --> 2: The number of frames sent from the address listed in the Network Address 1 column to the address listed in the Network Address 2 column.
1 <-- 2: The number of frames sent from the address listed in the Network Address 2 column to the address listed in the Network Address 1 column.
Network Address 2: The network address of the second participant in a network session.

Note

Network Monitor reflects session statistics of only the first 100 unique addresses that it detects. To gather statistics on a specific workstation, design a capture filter. To reset statistics and view information about the next 100 detected network sessions, click the Capture menu, and then click Clear Statistics.
