MIB_TCP6TABLE structure

The MIB_TCP6TABLE structure contains a table of TCP connections for IPv6 on the local computer.

Syntax


typedef struct _MIB_TCP6TABLE {
  DWORD       dwNumEntries;
  MIB_TCP6ROW table[ANY_SIZE];
} MIB_TCP6TABLE, *PMIB_TCP6TABLE;

Members

dwNumEntries: A value that specifies the number of TCP connections in the array.
table: An array of MIB_TCP6ROW structures containing TCP connection entries.

Remarks

The MIB_TCP6TABLE structure is defined on Windows Vista and later.

The GetTcp6Table function retrieves the IPv6 TCP connection table on the local computer and returns this information in a MIB_TCP6TABLE structure. An array of MIB_TCP6ROW structures are contained in the MIB_TCP6TABLE structure.

The MIB_TCP6TABLE structure may contain padding for alignment between the dwNumEntries member and the first MIB_TCP6ROW array entry in the table member. Padding for alignment may also be present between the MIB_TCP6ROW array entries in the table member. Any access to a MIB_TCP6ROW array entry should assume padding may exist.

Examples

The following example retrieves the TCP connection table for IPv6 as a MIB_TCP6TABLE structure and prints the state of each connection represented as a MIB_TCP6ROW structure.
