[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Get-NetTCPSetting cmdlet gets TCP settings. TCP settings are optimized for different network conditions including latency and congestion. To apply a TCP setting to a port number or destination IP address range, create a transport filter by using the New-NetTransportFilter cmdlet.
Specify a setting to get by using the SettingName parameter, or by specifying a transport filter that is associated with a setting. Specify parameter values to determine which settings to get, or do not include any parameters to get all TCP settings.
Examples
Example 1: Get all TCP settings
PS C:\>Get-NetTCPSettingThis command gets TCP settings. The command specifies no parameters, so it gets all TCP settings.
Example 2: Get Internet TCP settings
PS C:\>Get-NetTCPSetting -Setting InternetThis command gets TCP settings that are optimized for connectivity across the Internet.
Example 3: View formatted TCP settings
PS C:\>Get-NetTcpSetting | Format-TableThis command gets TCP settings, and then passes them to the Format-Table cmdlet by using the pipeline operator.
That cmdlet displays the results as a summary in a table view.
For more information, type Get-Help Format-Table.
