The following code example displays statistics for IPV4 interfaces on the local computer.

        if (!adapter.Supports(NetworkInterfaceComponent.IPv4))
        {
            continue;
        }
        Console.WriteLine(adapter.Description);
        // Underline the description.
        Console.WriteLine(String.Empty.PadLeft(adapter.Description.Length,'='));
        IPInterfaceProperties adapterProperties = adapter.GetIPProperties();
        // Try to get the IPv4 interface properties.
        IPv4InterfaceProperties p = adapterProperties.GetIPv4Properties();

        // Display the IPv4 specific data.
