Established The total number of TCP/IP connections to this machine in the ESTABLISHED state.
TIME_WAIT

The total number of TCP/IP connections to this machine in the TIME_WAIT state, where the local socket has closed, and it is waiting for the remote end to signal that it has done the same.

CLOSE_WAIT The total number of TCP/IP connections to this machine in the CLOSE_WAIT state, where the remote end of the connection has shut down, and it is waiting for the local end to do the same.

NIC Bandwidth

Packets The rate of network packets being received and sent for the network card on this host that has the highest rate of packet transfers.
Errors The rate of erroneous network packets being received and sent for the network card that has the highest rate of packet transfers.
Packets

If more than one network card is installed on this host, this is the rate of network packets being received and sent for the network card that has the second-highest rate of packet transfers.

Errors If more than one network card is installed on this host, this is the rate of erroneous network packets being received and sent for the network card that has the second-highest rate of packet transfers.
