Fields

AsymmetricDsl 94

The network interface uses an Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL).

Atm 37

The network interface uses asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) for data transmission.

BasicIsdn 20

The network interface uses a basic rate interface Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) connection. ISDN is a set of standards for data transmission over telephone lines.

Ethernet 6

The network interface uses an Ethernet connection. Ethernet is defined in IEEE standard 802.3.

Ethernet3Megabit 26

The network interface uses an Ethernet 3 megabit/second connection. This version of Ethernet is defined in IETF RFC 895.

FastEthernetFx 69

The network interface uses a Fast Ethernet connection over optical fiber and provides a data rate of 100 megabits per second. This type of connection is also known as 100Base-FX.

FastEthernetT 62

The network interface uses a Fast Ethernet connection over twisted pair and provides a data rate of 100 megabits per second. This type of connection is also known as 100Base-T.

Fddi 15

The network interface uses a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) connection. FDDI is a set of standards for data transmission on fiber optic lines in a local area network.

GenericModem 48

The network interface uses a modem.

GigabitEthernet 117

The network interface uses a gigabit Ethernet connection and provides a data rate of 1,000 megabits per second (1 gigabit per second).

HighPerformanceSerialBus 144

The network interface uses a High Performance Serial Bus.

IPOverAtm 114

The network interface uses the Internet Protocol (IP) in combination with asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) for data transmission.

Isdn 63

The network interface uses a connection configured for ISDN and the X.25 protocol. X.25 allows computers on public networks to communicate using an intermediary computer.

Loopback 24

The network interface is a loopback adapter. Such interfaces are often used for testing; no traffic is sent over the wire.

MultiRateSymmetricDsl 143

The network interface uses a Multirate Digital Subscriber Line.

Ppp 23

The network interface uses a Point-To-Point protocol (PPP) connection. PPP is a protocol for data transmission using a serial device.

PrimaryIsdn 21

The network interface uses a primary rate interface Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) connection. ISDN is a set of standards for data transmission over telephone lines.

RateAdaptDsl 95

The network interface uses a Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL).

Slip 28

The network interface uses a Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) connection. SLIP is defined in IETF RFC 1055.

SymmetricDsl 96

The network interface uses a Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL).

TokenRing 9

The network interface uses a Token-Ring connection. Token-Ring is defined in IEEE standard 802.5.

Tunnel 131

The network interface uses a tunnel connection.

Unknown 1

The interface type is not known.

VeryHighSpeedDsl 97

The network interface uses a Very High Data Rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL).

Wireless80211 71

The network interface uses a wireless LAN connection (IEEE 802.11 standard).

Wman 237

The network interface uses a mobile broadband interface for WiMax devices.

Wwanpp 243

The network interface uses a mobile broadband interface for GSM-based devices.

Wwanpp2 244

The network interface uses a mobile broadband interface for CDMA-based devices.

Remarks

Network interfaces, also known as network adapters, connect a computer to a network. The interface type defines the transmission media that provides network connectivity.

This enumeration defines the values returned by the NetworkInterface.NetworkInterfaceType property.
