Traffic
All IP traffic - - this will log all outgoing TCP/IP connections,
of any type. This will generate the largest logs, and fill the in-
ternal log buffer more quickly.
All TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic - These 3 protocols are used by
most internet traffic. TCP is used by HTTP, FTP, Telnet, E-
mail and other common Internet protocols and applications.
UDP is used by Video streams and other communications
