swift XPlane via P2P 127.0.0.1:45001

settings

xswiftbussetting

traffic not connected to network between XPlane/XSwiftBus

xswiftbustraffic1

you can see that swift sends and XPlane receives and vice versa
that is about 20kByte traffic in idle mode
swift/XPlane talk via the loopback adaptor

xswiftbustraffic2

swift XPlane via session bus

this starts the DBus daemon
As you can see swift now talks to the Daemon and the daemon talks to XPlane actually doubling the loopback traffic (no network)

xswiftbustraffic3

with VATSIM connected I can see something around 40kByte/s

xswiftbustraffic4

again all loopback traffic

xswiftbustraffic5

SimConnect via TCP/IP

swift connecting to P3D via remote TCP/IP simConnect
traffic during connecting phase of 20 aircraft, ending up with around 1.1 Mbit/s
