  1. A good place to start for network statistics would be the GetIpStatistics call in the Windows IPHelper functions.

    There are a couple of other approaches that are possibly more portable:-

    • SNMP. Requires SNMP to be enabled on the computer, but can obviously be used to retrieve statistics for remote computers also.
    • Pipe the output of ‘netstat’ into your application, and unpick the values from the text.
