Examples

The following code example displays statistics for outbound IP packets.

void ShowOutboundIPStatistics()
{
   IPGlobalProperties ^ properties = IPGlobalProperties::GetIPGlobalProperties();
   IPGlobalStatistics ^ ipstat = properties->GetIPv4GlobalStatistics();
   Console::WriteLine( "  Outbound Packet Data:" );
   Console::WriteLine( "      Requested ........................... : {0}", 
      ipstat->OutputPacketRequests );
   Console::WriteLine( "      Discarded ........................... : {0}", 
      ipstat->OutputPacketsDiscarded );
   Console::WriteLine( "      No Routing Discards ................. : {0}", 
      ipstat->OutputPacketsWithNoRoute );
   Console::WriteLine( "      Routing Entry Discards .............. : {0}", 
      ipstat->OutputPacketRoutingDiscards );
}

public static void ShowOutboundIPStatistics()
{
    IPGlobalProperties properties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties();
    IPGlobalStatistics ipstat = properties.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics();
    Console.WriteLine("  Outbound Packet Data:");
    Console.WriteLine("      Requested ........................... : {0}",
        ipstat.OutputPacketRequests);
    Console.WriteLine("      Discarded ........................... : {0}",
        ipstat.OutputPacketsDiscarded);
    Console.WriteLine("      No Routing Discards ................. : {0}",
        ipstat.OutputPacketsWithNoRoute);
    Console.WriteLine("      Routing Entry Discards .............. : {0}",
        ipstat.OutputPacketRoutingDiscards);
}

Public Shared Sub ShowOutboundIPStatistics() 
    Dim properties As IPGlobalProperties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties()
    Dim ipstat As IPGlobalStatistics = properties.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics()
    Console.WriteLine("  Outbound Packet Data:")
    Console.WriteLine("      Requested ........................... : {0}", ipstat.OutputPacketRequests)
    Console.WriteLine("      Discarded ........................... : {0}", ipstat.OutputPacketsDiscarded)
    Console.WriteLine("      No Routing Discards ................. : {0}", ipstat.OutputPacketsWithNoRoute)
    Console.WriteLine("      Routing Entry Discards .............. : {0}", ipstat.OutputPacketRoutingDiscards)

End Sub

Remarks

The data returned by this property does not include packets discarded because of errors that made the packets undeliverable. Packets included in this data are typically discarded due to network issues, such as insufficient buffer space.
