Description — description of a particular packet filter rule
Application — name of a local application (according to the Displayed application name parameter) participating in the particular network communication

Direction — direction of the connection (in — to a local computer, out — from a local computer)
Local point — local IP address (name of the computer)
Remote point — IP address (name) of the remote computer
Protocol — used communication protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.)
