What's the story behind those little "modem in use" icons in the systray?

Does anyone know what the little connected monitors in your systray indicate? I've noticed that they are both illuminated when I'm either down/uploading. Occasionally I will notice that one monitor is illuminated and the other is not. Does this mean that I'm sending data upstream one direction? What's the info on that?

You can right-click on that icon and get details to check your connection speed and the time spent connected during this session. Also, if your connection is hung, you can disconnect it here. Especially helpful if you need to disconnect in a hurry.
