Examples

The following code example displays statistics for received IP packets.

void ShowInboundIPStatistics()
{
   IPGlobalProperties ^ properties = IPGlobalProperties::GetIPGlobalProperties();
   IPGlobalStatistics ^ ipstat = properties->GetIPv4GlobalStatistics();
   Console::WriteLine( "  Inbound Packet Data:" );
   Console::WriteLine( "      Received ............................ : {0}", 
      ipstat->ReceivedPackets );
   Console::WriteLine( "      Forwarded ........................... : {0}", 
      ipstat->ReceivedPacketsForwarded );
   Console::WriteLine( "      Delivered ........................... : {0}", 
      ipstat->ReceivedPacketsDelivered );
   Console::WriteLine( "      Discarded ........................... : {0}", 
      ipstat->ReceivedPacketsDiscarded );
}

public static void ShowInboundIPStatistics()
{
     IPGlobalProperties properties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties();
     IPGlobalStatistics ipstat = properties.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics();
     Console.WriteLine("  Inbound Packet Data:");
     Console.WriteLine("      Received ............................ : {0}",
     ipstat.ReceivedPackets);
     Console.WriteLine("      Forwarded ........................... : {0}",
     ipstat.ReceivedPacketsForwarded);
     Console.WriteLine("      Delivered ........................... : {0}",
     ipstat.ReceivedPacketsDelivered);
     Console.WriteLine("      Discarded ........................... : {0}",
     ipstat.ReceivedPacketsDiscarded);
}

Public Shared Sub ShowInboundIPStatistics() 
    Dim properties As IPGlobalProperties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties()
    Dim ipstat As IPGlobalStatistics = properties.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics()
    Console.WriteLine("  Inbound Packet Data:")
    Console.WriteLine("      Received ............................ : {0}", ipstat.ReceivedPackets)
    Console.WriteLine("      Forwarded ........................... : {0}", ipstat.ReceivedPacketsForwarded)
    Console.WriteLine("      Delivered ........................... : {0}", ipstat.ReceivedPacketsDelivered)
    Console.WriteLine("      Discarded ........................... : {0}", ipstat.ReceivedPacketsDiscarded)

End Sub

Remarks

If the local computer is not a router, the value returned by this property includes packets that were successfully source-routed via the local computer. Source routing is an IP option whereby the source of the packet can specify the route to the destination address.
