Internet Radio

I've been listening to internet radio for a while, and have a question. Why do I have significant outgoing traffic on my Zone Alarm tray icon when listening to AOHell?

Just curious.

I just tried it while running a capture of the traffic. They're using TCP instead of UDP for the transmissions. TCP is a chattier protocol than UDP because it has to transmit an acknowledgement after every received packet. That's what you're seeing in the outbound traffic - a constant stream of acknowledgements.

Thank you PW! :bow:
