IPGlobalProperties.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics Method

Definition

Provides Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) statistical data for the local computer.

public abstract System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPGlobalStatistics GetIPv4GlobalStatistics ();

Returns

An IPGlobalStatistics object that provides IPv4 traffic statistics for the local computer.

Exceptions

The call to the Win32 function GetIpStatistics failed.

Examples

The following code example displays IP statistics for the local computer.

public static void ShowIPStatistics(NetworkInterfaceComponent version)
{
    IPGlobalProperties properties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties();
    IPGlobalStatistics ipstat = null;
    switch (version)
    {
        case NetworkInterfaceComponent.IPv4:
             ipstat = properties.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics();
           Console.WriteLine("{0}IPv4 Statistics ",Environment.NewLine);
            break;
        case NetworkInterfaceComponent.IPv6:
            ipstat = properties.GetIPv6GlobalStatistics();
            Console.WriteLine("{0}IPv6 Statistics ",Environment.NewLine);
            break;

Remarks

IPv4 is a network layer protocol that is responsible for routing data packets from its source computer to its destination.

For details on the IP traffic statistics available to applications, see the IPGlobalStatistics class documentation. Note that the object returned by this method reflects the statistics as of the time the IPGlobalStatistics object is created. This information is not updated dynamically.
