• TCP: a TCP endpoint is a combination of the IP address and the TCP port used, so different TCP ports
on the same IP address are different TCP endpoints.
• Token Ring: a Token Ring endpoint is identical to the Token Ring MAC address.
• UDP: a UDP endpoint is a combination of the IP address and the UDP port used, so different UDP ports
on the same IP address are different UDP endpoints.
• USB: XXX - insert info here.
• WLAN: XXX - insert info here.
Broadcast / multicast endpoints
Broadcast / multicast traffic will be shown separately as additional endpoints. Of course, as
these endpoints are virtual endpoints, the real traffic will be received by all (multicast: some)
of the listed unicast endpoints.
8.5.2. The "Endpoints" window
This window shows statistics about the endpoints captured.
Figure 8.4. The "Endpoints" window
For each supported protocol, a tab is shown in this window. Each tab label shows the number of endpoints
captured (e.g. the tab label "Ethernet: 5" tells you that five ethernet endpoints have been captured). If no
endpoints of a specific protocol were captured, the tab label will be greyed out (although the related page
can still be selected).
Each row in the list shows the statistical values for exactly one endpoint.
Name resolution will be done if selected in the window and if it is active for the specific protocol layer
(MAC layer for the selected Ethernet endpoints page). As you might have noticed, the first row has a name
resolution of the first three bytes "Netgear", the second row's address was resolved to an IP address (using
