Description

A pessimist scenario with a contraction during the second and third quarters would mean a combined drop of USD 3.0 billion, or 32.2% in domestic and international tourism compared to 2019. In Finland, a scenario model released in early May predicts a decline in tourism demand of between 60% to 70% in 2020, equivalent to EUR 10–11 billion.

Network Speed Monitor is a simple and easy-to-use application to display your current network speed in status bar, including the downloading and uploading data. When your computer connects to the. NetSpeedMonitor (ADMonitor.exe). NetSpeedMonitor is a network speed monitoring tool. This isn't a standalone application per se. It installs a toolbar that you can attach to the toolbar area of.

That's because NetworkTrafficView takes the capture timestamps provided by these drivers instead of taking the current date/time from the systemat the moment that NetworkTrafficView analyzes the packet.
  • Added 'Latency' column, which calculates and displays the network latency in milliseconds. It calculates the time difference from the moment that the client sends the first packet and the moment that the response receivedfrom the server. The result is usually very similar to what you get if you ping to the same address.
    Be aware that this column is only active when the Packet Direction Grouping (In 'Advanced Options' window) is 'Display both packet directions in a single line'.Also, to get accurate results, you should use the WinPcap driver or the Microsoft Network Monitor driver (version 3.4 or later) to capture the packets.

System Requirements

• This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000 and up to Windows 10, including 64-bit systems.
• One of the following capture drivers is required to use NetworkTrafficView:
  • Npcap capture driverNpcap is an open source capture driver based on the discontinued WinPcap library that allows you to capture network packets on any version of Windows.You can download and install the Npcap driver from this Web page.
  • Microsoft Network Monitor Driver version 2.x (Only for Windows 2000/XP/2003): Microsoft provides a free capture driver under Windows 2000/XP/2003 that can be used by NetworkTrafficView,but this driver is not installed by default, and you have to manually install it, by using one of the following options:
    • Option 1: Install it from the CD-ROM of Windows 2000/XP according to the instructions in Microsoft Web site
    • Option 2 (XP Only) : Download and install the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools.One of the tools in this package is netcap.exe. When you run this tool in the first time, the Network Monitor Driverwill automatically be installed on your system.
  • Microsoft Network Monitor Driver version 3.x: Microsoft provides a new version of Microsoft Network Monitor driver (3.x) that is also supported under Windows 7/Vista/2008.
    The new version of Microsoft Network Monitor (3.x) is available to download from Microsoft Web site.
• You can also try to use NetworkTrafficView without installing any driver, by using the 'Raw Sockets'method. Unfortunately, Raw Sockets method has many problems:
  • It doesn't work in all Windows systems, depending on Windows version, service pack, and the updates installed on your system.On some systems, Raw Sockets works only partially and captures only the incoming packets. On some other systems, it doesn't work at all.
  • On systems that 'Raw Sockets' method works properly, it can only capture IPv4 TCP/UDP packets. It cannot capture other type of packets, like the other capture drivers.
  • On Windows 7 with UAC turned on, 'Raw Sockets' method only works when you run NetworkTrafficView with 'Run As Administrator'.

Start Using NetworkTrafficView

After running NetworkTrafficView in the first time, the 'Capture Options' window appears on the screen,and you're requested to choose the capture method and the desired network adapter.In the next time that you use NetworkTrafficView, it'll automatically start capturing packets with the capture method andthe network adapter that you previously selected. You can always change the 'Capture Options' again by pressing F9.

After choosing the capture method and network adapter, NetworkTrafficView starts to display your current network traffic,grouped by the Ethernet Type, IP Protocol, Source/Destination Addresses, and Source/Destination ports.

You can press F6 to stop the network traffic capture, F5 to start it again, or Ctrl+X to clear the currentnetwork traffic statistics.

Change the Grouping Mode

• Packet Direction Grouping:
  • Display both packet directions in a single line:When you choose this option, packets sent in both directions (client to server and server to client) areaccumulated in the same statistics line.
  • Display the 2 packet directions in 2 separated lines:When you choose this option, packets sent from client to server and packets sent from server to client areaccumulated and displayed in 2 different statistics lines.
• General Grouping:
  • Group by combination of Ethernet Type, IP Protocol, Addresses, and TCP/UDP Ports:When this option is selected, every TCP connection is accumulated and displayed separately.For example, if your Web browser opens 5 connections to the same server, 5 or 10 statistics lines (depending on the Packet Direction Grouping) will be displayed on the screen.
  • Group by combination of Ethernet Type, IP Protocol, and Addresses. Ignore TCP/UDP Ports:When this option is selected, all TCP connections with the same client and server are accumulated and displayed in the samestatistics line.For example, if your Web browser opens 5 connections to the same server,1 or 2 statistics lines (depending on the Packet Direction Grouping) will be displayed on the screen.
  • Group by process:When this option is selected, all TCP connections came from the same process are accumulated and displayed in the samestatistics line.

IP Address Country/City Information

• http://software77.net/geo-ip/:Download the IPv4 CSV file, extract it from the zip/gz file, and put it in the same folder of NetworkTrafficView.exeas IpToCountry.csv
• GeoLite City database:Download the GeoLite City in Binary / gzip (GeoLiteCity.dat.gz) and put it in the same folder of NetworkTrafficView.exe
  If you want to get faster loading process, extract the GeoLiteCity.dat from the GeoLiteCity.dat.gz and put it in the same folder of NetworkTrafficView.exe

Integration with IPNetInfo utility

1. Download and run the latest version of IPNetInfo utility.
2. Select the desired connections, and then choose 'IPNetInfo - Destination IP' from the File menu (or simply click Ctrl+I).
3. IPNetInfo will retrieve the information about destination IP addresses of the selected items.
