SetPerTcp6ConnectionEStats (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
This function sets a value in the read/write information for an IPv6 TCP connection. The function is used to enable or disable extended statistics for an IPv6 TCP connection.
Syntax
ULONG WINAPI SetPerTcp6ConnectionEStats(
PMIB_TCP6ROW Row,
TCP_ESTATS_TYPE EstatsType,
PUCHAR Rw,
ULONG RwVersion,
ULONG RwSize,
ULONG Offset
);
Parameters
- Row
A pointer to a MIB_TCP6ROW structure for an IPv6 TCP connection.
EstatsType
The type of extended statistics for TCP to set. This parameter determines the data and format of information that is expected in the Rw parameter.This parameter can be one of the values from the TCP_ESTATS_TYPE enumeration type that is defined in the Tcpestats.h header file.
- Rw
A pointer to a buffer that contains the read/write information to set. The buffer should contain a value from the TCP_BOOLEAN_OPTIONAL enumeration for each structure member that specifies how each member should be updated.
- RwVersion
The version of the read/write information to be set.
- RwSize
The size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by Rw parameter.
- Offset
The offset, in bytes, to the member in the structure pointed to by the Rw parameter to be set.
Return Value
Return code |
Description |
---|---|
NO_ERROR |
The function succeeds. |
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED |
Access is denied. This error is returned under several conditions that include the following: the user lacks the required administrative credentials on the local device or the application is not running in an enhanced shell as the built-in Administrator (RunAs administrator). |
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER |
The parameter is incorrect. This error is returned if the Row parameter is a NULL pointer. |
ERROR_NOT_FOUND |
This requested entry was not found. This error is returned if the TCP connection specified in the Row parameter could not be found. |
Other |
Use FormatMessage to obtain the message string for the returned error. |
Remarks
The SetPerTcp6ConnectionEStats function is used to set the value of a member in the read/write information for extended statistics for an IPv6 TCP connection. The SetPerTcp6ConnectionEStats function can only set the value of a single DWORD member in a structure at a time. The type and format of the structure to be set is specified by the EstatsType parameter. The Rw parameter contains a pointer to the structure being passed. The member to set in this structure is specified by the Offset parameter. So this function may have to be called multiple times if more than a single member in a structure has to be set.
The only version of TCP connection statistics currently supported is version zero. So the RwVersion parameter that is passed to SetPerTcp6ConnectionEStats should be set to 0.
The structure pointed to by the Rw parameter passed this function depends on the enumeration value that is passed in the EstatsType parameter. The following table below indicates the structure type that should be passed in the Rw parameter for each possible EstatsType parameter type.

The SetPerTcp6ConnectionEStats function is used to enable or disable extended statistics for the IPv6 TCP connection passed in the Row parameter. Extended statistics on a TCP connection are disabled by default.
The GetTcp6Table function is used to retrieve the IPv6 TCP connection table on the local device. This function returns a MIB_TCP6TABLE structure that contain an array of MIB_TCP6ROW entries. The Row parameter that is passed to the SetPerTcp6ConnectionEStats function must be an entry for an existing IPv6 TCP connection.
When extended statistics are enabled on a TCP connection for IPv6, an application calls the GetPerTcp6ConnectionEStats function to retrieve extended statistics on the TCP connection.
The GetPerTcp6ConnectionEStats function is designed to use TCP to diagnose performance problems in both the network and the application. If a network based application is performing poorly, TCP can determine whether the bottleneck is in the sender, the receiver or the network itself. If the bottleneck is in the network, TCP can provide specific information about its nature.
For information about extended TCP statistics on an IPv4 connection, see the GetPerTcpConnectionEStats and SetPerTcpConnectionEStats functions.
The SetPerTcp6ConnectionEStats function can only be called by a user logged on as a member of the Administrators group. If SetPerTcp6ConnectionEStats is called by a user that is not a member of the Administrators group, the function call will fail and ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED is returned.
