"Compression Statistics" Window

"Compression Statistics" window displays information about your Internet traffic compressed by TrafficCompressor. The statistics is shown for a period from the date when the statistics collection has been started to the current date.
The statistics includes both of incoming and outgoing traffic.

Note the compression statistics is not intended for counting your whole Internet traffic volume. It counts only the traffic that has been processed by TrafficCompressor, therefore the total compressed traffic value shown in this window will be always less than your whole real traffic volume. The compression statistics is only intended for estimating how effective traffic compression is for your traffic and what amount of data TrafficCompressor has saved for you.
To count your whole Internet traffic, for example, to track your Internet access expenses you can use special software that is intended for it.

What Internet traffic is not counted in the compression statistics?

TrafficCompressor compression statistics does not count the following types of Internet traffic:

• TCP/IP protocol overhead. The overhead is a service traffic that needed for reliable data transmission over not reliable networks like the Internet and for some other technical purposes. The overhead of a network protocols includes headers of data packets and the data retransmitted due to network errors. TCP/IP overhead may be about 10% - 30% of the data volume transferred over the Internet.
  For example, if you download a 100 KB file (without TrafficCompressor) your real traffic always will be 110 KB - 130 KB.
  
• UDP traffic. The UDP traffic volume is usually very small unless you use some video or audio streaming Internet software or some other programs that use UDP protocol. The UDP protocol in particular is used for queries to DNS servers.
  
• Any traffic for the protocols that are not present or disabled in Preferences window.
• Any traffic for hosts for that TrafficCompressor is disabled in Preferences window.
• Files downloaded by HTTP protocol of the types for that compression is disabled in Preferences window. By default compression is disabled for GIF, JPG, ZIP, EXE, MP3 and other already compressed files.
• Any data transferred over the Internet when TrafficCompressor was disabled or closed.
