Status Information

248

connections from other hosts to services provided by the host with WinRoute

connections performed by clients within the Internet that are mapped to services run-

ning in LAN

WinRoute administrators are allowed to close any of the active connections.

Note:

1.

Connections among local clients will not be detected nor displayed by WinRoute.

2.

UDP protocol is also called connectionless protocol. This protocol does not perform

any connection. The communication is performed through individual messages (so-called

datagrams). Periodic data exchange is monitored in this case.

Figure 19.7

Overview of all connections established via WinRoute

One connection is represented by each line of the Connections window. These are network

connections, not user connections (each client program can occupy more than one connection

at a given moment).

The columns contain the following information:

Traffic rule

Name of the WinRoute traffic rule (see chapter

7

) by which the connection was allowed.

Service

Name of transmitted service (if such service is defined in WinRoute — see chapter

14.3

).

If the service is not defined in WinRoute, the corresponding port number and protocol

will be displayed instead (e.g. 5004/UDP).
