If you intend to keep network active even when no activities are being carried out, then you can enable the operation to automatically send dummy data packets on specified address. For this purpose, port number, packet send interval and desired protocol must be entered. The transparency of user interface can be chosen for keeping an eye on the tasks running in background.
