Found that out myself, next version will address that

What security software are you running? It is possible that this is blocking the application, while it does not talk to the internet (apart from when you use the DNS resolution), it does require access to the network to see all the internet data

Thanks Andrew. I managed to kick start it again by clicking the "Monitor Selected Decice(s)" button. Obvious really

ive found away to monitor traffic on my wireless by bridging my wireless adapter and lan and monitoring the bridged mini port.
If that dosent make sense ive posted a couple of screen grabs here http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,8088...

also is it only looking for incoming packet as ive done test and wireshark at same time dosent pick any 0x00 bronze incoming at the same period as this app recording 0.7mb of bronze

all wireshark has that arnt tvcatchup gold packets is the outgoing packets and some ssdp protocal between my router but ssdp dosent even have a DS field so i can only asume that its counting outgoing packets as well that havent been marked yet

I just ran it with the only internet activity being streaming from the BBC iPlayer and there was still some 0x00 traffic showing which is obviously not correct

How much traffic?

Browsers are fickle and there may have been toolbar update checks, and a myriad other bits of software doing a bit of chatting.

Even the video player may do a small amount of comms over a bronze port/

The total is up/down for WAN traffic

I'm on PAYG which has all download traffic Gold or better and tried sending an email with a large attachment, I can see that this has all clocked up in the Bronze queue.

The traffic management should be on download only as that this the only side that is managed (in any case how would an upload be classified if initiated by the user? - surely that would need the user to install special interface software to be installed on the PC to intercept and correctly classify every outgoing packet).

In reply to a post by Oldjim:

Running it now and the interesting result is that browsing on Timesonline most of the traffic is split between Gold Plated (0x60) and Bronze (0x00). The bronze is because a lot of the graphics come from Akamai servers

Akamai content is in the Gold Plated queue, *not* the Bronze queue.

As jelv has alluded to, the upstream traffic is not given a ToS marking as it won't have been anywhere near the Ellacoyas at that point. Classifying upstream traffic as bronze is likely to confuse people and I'm pretty sure it's the reason for the bronze traffic you saw too Jim.

Patience, the software is a beta, give me chance to tweak it some more.

I could bore you with lots of swing data, and electorates
