Skype video call data usage   11 December 2019, 04:40

I had a 52 minute Skype video call the other day. After the call I checked how much data I used and saw 400 Mb sent but only 1.4 Mb received. Is this right, that there is no data usage for receiving?

It sounds like it may be a bug in NetWorx caused by the third-party driver we are using to classify traffic by application.

I am afraid we cannot really fix it, but instead I recommend trying our new NetGenius product. In addition to monitoring, it allows you setting priorities, which is especially useful for VoIP applications like Skype. More details are available in the NetGenius manual.

Sometimes you can find a solution faster if you try the forum search, have a look at the knowledge base, or check the software user manual to see if your question has already been answered.
