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

The value returned by this property includes only those packets that were discarded even though they did not contain errors that prevented reassembly or delivery. Typically, packets in this category are discarded because of insufficient buffer space.
