Local : The IP address and, where appropriate, port number of the local application.
ƒ
NAT : The port number of the LAN-side application as viewed by the WAN-side
application.
ƒ
Internet : The IP address and, where appropriate, port number of the application on
the Internet.
ƒ
Protocol : The communications protocol used for the conversation.
ƒ

may occur.
o
SS : SYN Sent -- One of the systems is attempting to start a connection.
o

o
FW : FIN Wait -- The client system has requested that the connection be
stopped.

Wait is fully closed.
o

tracked in case there are any retransmitted packets still pending.
