How to Retrieve TCP/UDP Statistics using System.Net.NetworkInformation

[that_dude_tj]

I went to the msdn website:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.networkinformation.aspx looking for help writing the code in VB.

What statistics are you looking for?? Did you look at the code samples for each class, such as the IpGlobalStatistics??

I looked at the IPGlobalProperties class but i think its too broad. I am looking to view the SYN -ACK request packets in the TCP backlog queue and looking to view the amounts of UDP packets.

Im looking at TcpStatistics/UDP Class but not sure if it will specify SYN/ACK or UDP packets

The stats you want are not kept in those classes, nor are they, if my research is correct, kept in the underlying network layers. I think you may be forced to write your own packet filter and generate these stats yourself by inspecting individual packets.

Ooo ok thanks, do you have any suggested readings that can guide me to creating my own packet filter

[Dave Kreskowiak]

Not really. But you can start by Googling for "WinPCap".
