The Network tab displays graphs of average bytes transferred, number of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections, and total network utilization for each network connection on the computer. The Network tab also displays the following information concerning network utilization on the computer:

  • Processes with Network Activity Displays the image name, PID, average number of bytes per second sent, average number of bytes per second received, and average number of bytes per second transferred for each process accessing the network subsystem on the computer. In addition, you can right-click a process and select any of the following options:
    • End Process
    • End Process Tree
    • Analyze Wait Chain
    • Suspend Process

    • Search Online
    By selecting the check box for one or more processes in the Processes With Network Activity section of this tab, you can filter the information displayed in the Network Activity section of this tab.
  • Network Activity Displays the image name, PID, address (IP, NetBIOS, or FQDN) to which the process is connected, average number of bytes per second sent, average number of bytes per second received, and average number of bytes per second transferred for each process accessing the network subsystem on the computer.
  • TCP Connections Displays the image name, PID, local address and port number, remote address and port number, percentage of packet loss, and round-trip latency in milliseconds for each TCP connection on the computer.
  • Listening Ports Displays the image name, PID, listening IP address, listening port number, network protocol, and firewall port status for each listening port on the computer.
