Packet Sniffer SDK VCL Edition

HNAdapter :: Methods :: Get_Missed

 Previous Next

Returns the number of the packets lost by the network adapter.

Syntax:

function Get_Missed(HiValue: PUINT): UINT;

Parameters:

HiValue

[out] The pointer to the variable, in which the high DWORD of the result will be stored. May be set to NULL, if the application does not need these data.

Return values:

If the function succeeds, the return value will be the low-order doubleword of the number of the packets lost by the network adapter, and if HiValue is non-NULL, the function will put the high-order doubleword of this number into the variable pointed to by that parameter.

Description:

Use Get_Missed after opening the network adapter and executing the UpdateAdapterStatistics method.

This method returns the value of the HNAdapter internal packets counter. This value is set with the PSSDK internal driver packets counter value syncronously after UpdateAdapterStatistics method call. So, to get the latest packets counter value you should call Get_Missed immediately after UpdateAdapterStatistics method call.

To get the network adapter statistics synchronously, please do the following:

procedure GetAdapterStat();
var
   Stat : ULARGE_INTEGER;
begin
   // Refresh the adapter statistics synchronously
   HNAdapter.UpdateAdapterStatistics();

   // Display the adapter statistics
   Stat.LowPart := HNAdapter.Get_Missed(@Stat.HighPart);
   NdisMissed.Caption := IntToStr(Stat.QuadPart);

   Stat.LowPart := HNAdapter.Get_RecvWithErr(@Stat.HighPart);
   NdisRecvWithErr.Caption := IntToStr(Stat.QuadPart);

   Stat.LowPart := HNAdapter.Get_RecvWithoutErr(@Stat.HighPart);
   NdisRecvWithoutErr.Caption := IntToStr(Stat.QuadPart);

   Stat.LowPart := HNAdapter.Get_TranWithErr(@Stat.HighPart);
   NdisTranWithErr.Caption := IntToStr(Stat.QuadPart);

   Stat.LowPart := HNAdapter.Get_TranWithoutErr(@Stat.HighPart);
   NdisTranWithoutErr.Caption := IntToStr(Stat.QuadPart);
end;
