What did you learn?
(4pts)
It was interesting being able to look at my network activity. What I recognized
is that there were a lot of background processes going through my firewall.
Some applications that were using my network are applications I haven’t used
in months. It makes me wonder how much bandwidth has been used by
background applications that I don’t even use anymore.
