Property Value

Int32

An Int64 value that specifies the MTU.

Examples

The following code example gets an IPv6InterfaceProperties object and displays its data.

void DisplayIPv6NetworkInterfaces()
{
   array<NetworkInterface^>^nics = NetworkInterface::GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
   IPGlobalProperties ^ properties = IPGlobalProperties::GetIPGlobalProperties();
   Console::WriteLine( "IPv6 interface information for {0}.{1}", 
       properties->HostName, properties->DomainName );

   int count = 0;

   while ( myEnum24->MoveNext() )
   {
      NetworkInterface ^ adapter = safe_cast<NetworkInterface ^>(myEnum24->Current);

      // Only display informatin for interfaces that support IPv6.
      if ( !adapter->Supports( NetworkInterfaceComponent::IPv6 ) )

         continue;

      count++;
      
      Console::WriteLine();
      Console::WriteLine( adapter->Description );

      // Underline the description.
      Console::WriteLine( String::Empty->PadLeft( adapter->Description->Length, '=' ) );
      IPInterfaceProperties ^ adapterProperties = adapter->GetIPProperties();

      // Try to get the IPv6 interface properties.
      IPv6InterfaceProperties ^ p = adapterProperties->GetIPv6Properties();

Remarks

The MTU of a network interface is the largest packet that can be transmitted. It is measured in octets (8-bit bytes).
