I know that Tiny Personal Firewall will show data flow even when
nothing is coming in or out of the network. That is data flow
internally on your machine that will show up, plus if you are running
a network, and data being transferred accross your network will
also show in the firewall logs. At least Tiny Personal Fireall
will also log traffic travelling locally on my LAN.
