Why does running the NT platform show up on my ethernet load

[Atomic]

When I have the NT platorm open, I see the spikes in my ethernet usage, and when I close the NT platform, the spikes go away.
What causes this. In the picture. I shut the NT platform down about half way across the chart. This is on a computer running
Tradestation, but I am not sending data to the NT platfrom from TS, and my NT platform has no other data feed. There is probably
some traffic due the the NtDirect.dll. I don't normally run NT on this computer, but I just want to check as the spikes were showing up
on another computer where I do.

Thanks. I will do that asap and report back.

I can confirm that the reported behavior does not occur with 8.0.28.0.

Most likely it's the watch button in the right corner. There was a thread about it. Basically it consumed enormous amount of data just checking if there any live events or whatever. They fixed it in next versions.
