Property Value

Type: System::Int64

An Int64 value that specifies the total number of ICMP Time Exceeded messages received.

A packet's Hop Limit determines how many times it can be forwarded before it is discarded. Each time a packet is forwarded, its Hop Limit value is decremented by one. When the Hop Limit reaches zero or when a router receives a packet with its Hop Limit set to zero, the packet is discarded and the source of the packet receives a Time Exceeded message indicating that the initial Hop Limit was too small or that the packet was caught in a routing loop.

The following example displays the value of this property.

void ShowIcmpV6TimeExceededData()
{
   IPGlobalProperties ^ properties = IPGlobalProperties::GetIPGlobalProperties();
   IcmpV6Statistics ^ statistics = properties->GetIcmpV6Statistics();
   Console::WriteLine( "  TimeExceeded ........................ Sent: {0,-10}   Received: {1,-10}", 
      statistics->TimeExceededMessagesSent, 
      statistics->TimeExceededMessagesReceived );
}
