Viewing IP Global Statistics

You can view statistics on the processing of Internet protocol
packets (a packet is a collection of data that has been bundled for
transmission). You will not typically need to view this data, but you
may find it helpful when working with your ISP to diagnose network
and Internet data transmission problems.

To view global IP statistics, click

on the IP

Address Table page. Figure 8 shows the IP Global Statistics page:
