Project explorer
The Project Explorer dock window is on the left section of project window by default, which allows you to view the current status of each node and quickly switch among global statistics and the details of specific network nodes; you can not see it if no project is created or opened. There are three groups in the project explorer: Protocol Explorer, Physical Explorer and IP Explorer.

Protocol Explorer |
This group lists network endpoints by protocol. |
Physical Explorer |
This group lists network endpoints by physical address. There are four sub-groups: Local Segment, Gateways, Broadcast Addresses and Multicast Addresses. |
IP Explorer |
This group lists network endpoints by IP address. There are four sub-groups: Local Subnets, Private-Use Networks, Broadcast Addresses, Multicast Addresses and Internet Addresses. |
In the Physical Explorer and IP Explorer group, the nodes classified by countries, the arrows on the right of the each node’s icon indicate the current status of the node. The node's icon and the arrows will green when the node transmitting packets and become to grey when transmission complete. The upper arrow indicates packets transmitted in, the below one indicates packets transmitted out from the node.
The number in bracket indicates the amount of the sub-nodes. Javvin Packet Analyzer can list up to 1000 sub-nodes. If a node has more than 1000 sub-nodes, e.g. 2000, then the node will be showed as xxx (2000) when collapsed and xxx (1000/2000) when expanded.
The Project Explorer dock window and the tab views on the right section of project window are consistent in displaying data. When you select a node in this dock window, the data displayed in tab views changes accordingly.
