  • summary property
    A parser-defined property used to group the properties of a protocol for display in the Network Monitor UI. A PROPERTYINFO structure defines a summary property in the same way that other parser-defined properties are defined. The summary property is typically the first property definition attached to a frame when Network Monitor calls the AttachProperties function.
  • summary pane
    The pane in a Network Monitor frame viewer window that lists the frames contained in a capture file. For each frame, the summary pane lists the frame number, the time the frame is captured, the source and destination address of the frame, the protocols used to send the frame, and a brief description of the frame. If a raw address has an associated IP or IPX/XNS address, this address is displayed in Src Other Addr and Dst Other Addr. The address type (IP or IPX/XNS) appears in Type Other Addr.
