Info tab

Top Node Info

When the Top Node (ôOverallö) is selected then the ôInfoö Tab displays detailed information about your computer: its network name, a detailed list of your network adapters, info about your network configuration (DNS, DHCP, etc.) and info about applications with any internet activity.

Application Info

When any application is selected (by clicking on its node) then following info is displayed:

Display name
Here you can change the applicationÆs name displayed in the Node view.
Number of running instances
Number of currently running instances of the application.
Created
Date and time when the application became ôOnlineö for a first time (it was registered by Netlimiter).
Application path
Path to a file, which is used to run the application.
Ignore UDP packets
Check this option, if you want to exclude UDP traffic from limiting and monitoring.
Most internet applications use two essential internet protocols: TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol). UDP is mostly used for internal comunication or time critical traffic (computer games or internet radios) and TCP is mostly used for huge data transfers. If you set limits on any application it is better to check this option. Note that there are some apps which use UDP for huge data transfers (one of them is popular P2P tool called "Blubster"), so be careful using this option. If you don't know how the application works, it'd be better to let this option unchecked.
Ignore All traffic
Check this option if you want to bypass selected application by NetLimiter. You must restart the app, before any changes take effect.
Note that some applications are bypassed by default. There's no way how to disable their bypasses. Among these application are important system services like svchost.exe, lsass.exe or alg.exe.

Instance Info

When any instance is selected (by clicking on its node) then following info is displayed:

Window Title
Title of main instanceÆs window if any exists.
Number of connections
Number of created connections.
Startup Time
Time when selected instance of application tried to connect to the internet.
Process ID
Unique ID given by operating system to every process.
Application Path
Path and file used to run the application.
Command Line
Original path and file used to run the application with the command line attributes.

Connection Info

When any connection (represented by IP address) is selected by clicking on its node then following info is displayed:

General
Display general information about connection - IP address of the remote machine, remote and local port, etc.
WHOIS
Displays information about remote IP address retrieved from public WHOIS servers. You must be connected to the internet
to use it. Beside WHOIS info, the reverse DNS address is displayed in brackets behind IP address.
Trace
Utility that tries to trace a path to a remote IP. It displays list of computers/nodes throught which the packets sent
from your machine travel to the remote machine. Beside the node's IP there is displayed its response
time in miliseconds and its reverse DNS name.
Note: It is sometimes impossible to get IPs, names or reponse times of some machines on the route from your machine to remote.
So any values could be missing.
Ping 
Utility tries to measure remote machine's response time (4 times).
Note: Some machines don't answer to Ping messages, so then it is imposible to measure their reponse time.
