Specifies types of network interfaces.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AsymmetricDsl | The network interface uses an Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL). | |
| Atm | The network interface uses asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) for data transmission. | |
| BasicIsdn | The network interface uses a basic rate interface Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) connection. ISDN is a set of standards for data transmission over telephone lines. | |
| Ethernet | The network interface uses an Ethernet connection. Ethernet is defined in IEEE standard 802.3. | |
| Ethernet3Megabit | The network interface uses an Ethernet 3 megabit/second connection. This version of Ethernet is defined in IETF RFC 895. | |
| FastEthernetFx | The network interface uses a Fast Ethernet connection over optical fiber and provides a data rate of 100 megabits per second. This type of connection is also known as 100Base-FX. | |
| FastEthernetT | The network interface uses a Fast Ethernet connection over twisted pair and provides a data rate of 100 megabits per second. This type of connection is also known as 100Base-T. | |
| Fddi | The network interface uses a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) connection. FDDI is a set of standards for data transmission on fiber optic lines in a local area network. | |
| GenericModem | The network interface uses a modem. | |
| GigabitEthernet | The network interface uses a gigabit Ethernet connection and provides a data rate of 1,000 megabits per second (1 gigabit per second). | |
| HighPerformanceSerialBus | The network interface uses a High Performance Serial Bus. | |
| IPOverAtm | The network interface uses the Internet Protocol (IP) in combination with asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) for data transmission. | |
| Isdn | The network interface uses a connection configured for ISDN and the X.25 protocol. X.25 allows computers on public networks to communicate using an intermediary computer. | |
| Loopback | The network interface is a loopback adapter. Such interfaces are often used for testing; no traffic is sent over the wire. | |
| MultiRateSymmetricDsl | The network interface uses a Multirate Digital Subscriber Line. | |
| Ppp | The network interface uses a Point-To-Point protocol (PPP) connection. PPP is a protocol for data transmission using a serial device. | |
| PrimaryIsdn | The network interface uses a primary rate interface Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) connection. ISDN is a set of standards for data transmission over telephone lines. | |
| RateAdaptDsl | The network interface uses a Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL). | |
| Slip | The network interface uses a Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) connection. SLIP is defined in IETF RFC 1055. | |
| SymmetricDsl | The network interface uses a Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL). | |
| TokenRing | The network interface uses a Token-Ring connection. Token-Ring is defined in IEEE standard 802.5. | |
| Tunnel | The network interface uses a tunnel connection. | |
| Unknown | The interface type is not known. | |
| VeryHighSpeedDsl | The network interface uses a Very High Data Rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL). | |
| Wireless80211 | The network interface uses a wireless LAN connection (IEEE 802.11 standard). | |
| Wman | The network interface uses a mobile broadband interface for WiMax devices. | |
| Wwanpp | The network interface uses a mobile broadband interface for GSM-based devices. | |
| Wwanpp2 | The network interface uses a mobile broadband interface for CDMA-based devices. |
Network interfaces, also known as network adapters, connect a computer to a network. The interface type defines the transmission media that provides network connectivity.
This enumeration defines the values returned by the NetworkInterface::NetworkInterfaceType property.
