Examples

The following example displays the value of this property.

void ShowIcmpV6UnreachableData()
{
   IPGlobalProperties ^ properties = IPGlobalProperties::GetIPGlobalProperties();
   IcmpV6Statistics ^ statistics = properties->GetIcmpV6Statistics();
   Console::WriteLine( "  Destination Unreachables ............ Sent: {0,-10}   Received: {1,-10}", 
      statistics->DestinationUnreachableMessagesSent, 
      statistics->DestinationUnreachableMessagesReceived );
}

public static void ShowIcmpV6UnreachableData ()
{
    IPGlobalProperties properties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties();
    IcmpV6Statistics statistics = properties.GetIcmpV6Statistics();
    Console.WriteLine ("  Destination Unreachables ............ Sent: {0,-10}   Received: {1,-10}",
        statistics.DestinationUnreachableMessagesSent, statistics.DestinationUnreachableMessagesReceived);
}

Public Shared Sub ShowIcmpV6UnreachableData() 
    Dim properties As IPGlobalProperties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties()
    Dim statistics As IcmpV6Statistics = properties.GetIcmpV6Statistics()
    Console.WriteLine("  Destination Unreachables ............ Sent: {0,-10}   Received: {1,-10}", statistics.DestinationUnreachableMessagesSent, statistics.DestinationUnreachableMessagesReceived)

End Sub

Remarks

A Destination Unreachable message can be sent to the computer that is the source of a packet for any of the following reasons:

• The computer cannot find a route to the destination address.

• Communication with the destination address is administratively prohibited. For example, a firewall prevents delivery of packets to the destination.

• The destination address is unreachable.

• The destination port is unreachable. For example, there is no listener available for the packet's protocol.
