Example 2 (the same as example 1 but with another solution)
Scenario:
Monitor and count the IP traffic from my computer (the outbound IP packets) and the IP traffic to my computer (the inbound IP packets).
Solution:
Let's create one filter. This filter will count the outbound and inbound IP packets simultaneously.
Filter No. 1.
Name: From my computer to any computer.
Rules of the filter: | |||||||
N | Mirrored flag |
Protocol type |
Source address |
Source port |
Destination address |
Destination port |
|
1 | Yes | Any | My computer | Any IP address |
The sent bytes counter will count the IP traffic from my computer and the received bytes counter will count the IP traffic to my computer. The received bytes counter works only with the filters which consist of the rules with mirrored flag up.
