Statistics Window
The Statistics window supplies basic information about the data on the network. When reviewing a capture file, the Statistics window shows a summary of the data in the file.
HSU Statistics Window
To open the Statistics window, click the Statistics
icon 
on the Control window toolbar, or choose Statistics
from the View menu on the Control window.
The
analyzer monitors the network and collects statistics all the time, even
when data is not actively being captured. Activate the Lock icon 
to stop the window from updating. Click the Unlock icon 
again to resume updating. The
analyzer continues to monitor network traffic while the Statistics window
is locked, so you may see the numbers jump right after updating has resumed,
reflecting all the statistics that were gathered while the window was
locked.
