IPv4InterfaceProperties.Mtu Property

Definition

Gets the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for this network interface.

public:
 abstract property int Mtu { int get(); };
public abstract int Mtu { get; }
member this.Mtu : int
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property Mtu As Integer

Property Value

An Int64 value that specifies the MTU.

Examples

The following code example gets an IPv4InterfaceProperties object and displays its data.

void DisplayIPv4NetworkInterfaces()
{
   array<NetworkInterface^>^nics = NetworkInterface::GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
   IPGlobalProperties ^ properties = IPGlobalProperties::GetIPGlobalProperties();
   Console::WriteLine( "IPv4 interface information for {0}.{1}", properties->HostName, properties->DomainName );
   System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum23 = nics->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum23->MoveNext() )
   {
      NetworkInterface ^ adapter = safe_cast<NetworkInterface ^>(myEnum23->Current);

      // Only display informatin for interfaces that support IPv4.
      if ( adapter->Supports( NetworkInterfaceComponent::IPv4 ) == false )
      {
         continue;
      }
      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 IPv4 interface properties.
      IPv4InterfaceProperties ^ p = adapterProperties->GetIPv4Properties();
      if ( !p )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "No IPv4 information is available for this interface." );

Remarks

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