Network Interface Info, Statistics, and Traffic (incl. IP, TCP, UDP and ICMP) This is an example of getting and displaying Network Interface Information, Statistics and Traffic. Previously this was just a means to getting Network statistics (specifically IP, TCP, UDP, and ICMP), but now it includes Internet Interface information, as well as Interface-specific statistics. Since this UDF can be used in different ways, let me cover Statistics first: Network Statistics Information Stats example output To retrieve Statistics information, you can call one of the four _Network_xxxxStatistics() functions for IP, TCP, UDP, or ICMP Statistics. These functions accept 1 argument which specifies which protocol to use. Basically, zero is IPv4 and non-zero is IPv6. It defaults to IPv4 if no arguments. Here's the functions: Protocol Statistics Functions: _Network_IPStatistics() -> receives IP statistics _Network_TCPStatistics() -> TCP statistics _Network_UDPStatistics() -> UDP statistics _Network_ICMPStatistics() -> ICMP statistics - To get per-interface statistics requires 2 calls. One call is required to collect information on adapters into an array. Once this information is retrieved, multiple calls to _Network_InterfaceEntryInfo() can be made for each indexed network interface. Note that _Network_IPv4AdaptersInfo() is the only adapter/interface information function which doesn't get index information - so don't use it unless you want further interface information. The main UDF functions to use are: Network Adapter & Interface Functions: _Network_IPv4AdaptersInfo() -> Retrieves information on Physical IPv4 adapters _Network_IPv4AdaptersInfoEx() -> Retrieves much more info on Physical IPv4 adapters _Network_IPv4AddressTable() -> Retrieves information on IPv4 Interfaces _Network_IPAllAddressTable() -> Retrieves information on both IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces Network Statistics for a Given Interface: _Network_InterfaceEntryInfo() -> For a given interface index, retrieves statistics - The simplest way to get overall traffic is to use _Network_IPAllAddressTable() (or _Network_IPv4AddressTable() for IPv4 only) to collect an array of info about interfaces. This needs to be done only once. Then, to collect statistics, for each row in the interface array, call _Network_InterfaceEntryInfo() with $aIPAddressTable[$i][0] to get the statistics for that network interface. IMPORTANT: Note that for all statistics, the data received/sent are represented as 32-bit numbers, and subject to wraparound after 4GBs of data has been transferred. Network Interface Information Regarding Network Interface Information, nearly every function except those ending in xxStatistics(), will return various info regarding the network adapters or interfaces. Currently, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are retrieved for the interface, as well as for Gateway, DHCP, DNS and WINS servers (there's some XP issues here as to which functions to use - see UDFs). The number of IP addresses (since there can be more than one assigned to each interface) is controlled via a parameter $bGetAllIPs. If this value is non-zero, multiple IP addresses are returned in a string separated by "|" (pipe symbol). Also note that the MAC/Physical Address is returned by most functions as well. These are properly formatted into a hex string in the form "01-23-45-67-89-ab". There is one issue with converting IPv6 addresses - on pre-Vista O/S's (Win XP I'm looking at you) WSAStartup must be called by the code. This is all handled internally, but if you have code that relies on WSAStartup/Cleanup, keep it in mind and let me know if I can better accommodate any potential conflicts. Further notes: - The TCP Statistics gives information about the number of segments sent/received, rather than the # of packets. I'm not totally clear on the association, however here's some links: What's the difference between a TCP segment and a TCP packet? Whats the difference between a Packet, Segment and Frame? - I'm not sure how segments, packets, or datagrams map to # of bytes, or what API functions I might use to figure this out. Any help there would be appreciated. Alternatives: While I have opened access to a lot of detailed network and performance information, there are alternatives - check out Netstat (-e for performance stats) or my >Performance Counters UDF's, which has a lot of varied stats (one example of these: >Network Usage). Following is the example, included in the ZIP file. Note there's a cr@pload of info dumped to the console, so you'll probably want to redirect output or copy-and-paste from the output console: ; ======================================================================================================== ;
