NetworkTrafficView v2.43

A free network monitoring tool that captures the packets pass through your network adapter, and displays general statistics about your network traffic.

The packets statistics is grouped by the Ethernet Type, IP Protocol, Source/Destination Addresses, and Source/Destination ports. For every statistics line, the following information is displayed: Ethernet Type (IPv4, IPv6, ARP), IP Protocol (TCP, UDP, ICMP), Source Address, Destination Address, Source Port, Destination Port, Service Name (http, ftp, and so on), Packets Count, Total Packets Size, Total Data Size, Data Speed, Maximum Data Speed, Average Packet Size, First/Last Packet Time, Duration, and process ID/Name (For TCP connections).




Changes:
v2.43:
Fixed bug: NetworkTrafficView randomly crashed when using the GeoLite2 City database.

System Requirements

• This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000 and up to Windows 11, including 64-bit systems.
• One of the following capture drivers is required to use NetworkTrafficView:
- Npcap capture driver Npcap 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 3.x (Windows Server 2008, Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-based Systems, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows XP 64-bit, Windows Vista Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista 64-bit Editions Service Pack 1 ): 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 Driver will 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
Except of a capture driver needed for capturing network packets, NetworkTrafficView doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - NetworkTrafficView.exe

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 and the 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 current network traffic statistics.

Change the Grouping Mode
In the 'Advanced Options' window (F8), you can change the grouping settings, which affects the way that the network traffic statistics is accumulated and displayed on the screen:

• 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) are accumulated 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 are accumulated 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 same statistics 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 same statistics line.

IP Address Country/City Information
NetworkTrafficView allows you to view country/city information for every IP address. In order to activate this feature, you have to download one of the following external files, and put the file in the same folder of NetworkTrafficView.exe:

• GeoLite2 City database:
You should download the GeoLite2 City database in CSV format because NetworkTrafficView can only read this file format. In order to starting using this database, simply extract all files in the folder of NetworkTrafficView.exe

Integration with IPNetInfo utility
Except of a capture driver needed for capturing network packets, NetworkTrafficView doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - NetworkTrafficView.exe

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 and the 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 current network traffic statistics.

Columns Description
• Ethernet Type: Displays the Ethernet type - IPv4, IPv6, ARP, and so on.
• IP Protocol: Displays the IP protocol, when the Ethernet type is IPv4 or IPv6 - TCP, UDP, ICMP, and so on.
• Source/Destination Address: Displays the source and destination addresses of this packets summary line. For non-IP packets (like ARP), the MAC addresses are displayed. For IP packets (IPv4 or IPv6), the IP addresses or host names are displayed.
• Source/Destination Port: For TCP lines, the port numbers of the TCP connection are displayed.
• Service Name: For TCP lines, displays the service name (http, https, ftp, and so on) according to the lower port number.
• Status: For TCP lines, displays whether the TCP connection is opened or closed. Be aware that by default, the 'Hide Closed TCP Connection' option is turned on, which means that closed connections are automatically hidden, unless you turn off the 'Hide Closed TCP Connection' option.
• Packets Count: The number of packets counted for the specified packets group.
• Total Packets Size: The total size of all packets (in bytes), including the packet headers, for the specified packets group.
• Total Data Size: The total size of the data of all packets (in bytes), excluding the Ethernet and TCP/IP headers, for the specified packets group.
