Definition

Gets the speed of the network interface.

C#
public virtual long Speed { get; }
C#
public abstract long Speed { get; }

Property Value

A Int64 value that specifies the speed in bits per second.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates displaying the speed of interfaces on the local computer.

C#
public static void ShowInterfaceSpeedAndQueue()
{
    NetworkInterface[] adapters = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
    foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in adapters)
    {
        IPInterfaceProperties properties = adapter.GetIPProperties();
        IPv4InterfaceStatistics stats = adapter.GetIPv4Statistics();
         Console.WriteLine(adapter.Description);
        Console.WriteLine("     Speed .................................: {0}",
            adapter.Speed);
        Console.WriteLine("     Output queue length....................: {0}",
            stats.OutputQueueLength);
    }
}

Remarks

The value returned by this property is reported by the network interface. It is not computed dynamically.
