Getting Info on Connection with NetworkStatistics

NetworkStatistics class allows for collecting network statistics. All the statistic values are calculated starting from the previous call of network.getNetworkStatistics() function.

• float getKBytesSent() — gets the total amount of data sent during the current session (in Kbytes)
• float getKBytesRecvd() — gets the total amount of data received during the current session (in Kbytes)
• float getBpsSent() — gets the current upload speed during the last second (b/s)
• float getBpsRecvd() — gets the current download speed during the last second (b/s)
• int getSessionTime() — gets session duration (in ms). On the server side, it is measured from the moment of its start; on the client side – after connection was established.
• float getPacketloss() — gets the degree of packet loss (%)

• int network.getNodeType() — gets the current type of the network node. Possible values are:
  • NETWORK_NODE_UNINITIALIZED — the node is not initialized (no connection is established and therefore the node type is unknown)
  • NETWORK_NODE_SERVER — the node acts as a server
  • NETWORK_NODE_CLIENT — the node acts as a client
• NetworkAddress network.getMyAddress() — gets the computer's own network address:
  • if a server, returns the address passed to the startServer() function
  • if a client, returns the address through which connection to the server was established by calling connectToServer()
• NeworkAddress network.getMyAddress(NetworkAddress target_address) — gets the computer's own network address as seen by another network node (a client or a server) specified by the target_address.
• NetworkStatistics network.getNetworkStatistics() — gets the current network statistics (updated by each call of the network_update() function). For a server, total//summed statistics on all clients is returned.
• NetworkStatistics network.getNetworkStatistics(NetworkAddress network_address) — gets the current network statistics for the specified connection.
  • network_address — an address of the connected network node
• int network.getAvgPing(Variable target) — returns the average ping time to the node with specified address, or -1 if no packets were sent to the node.
  • target — a node address. It can be one of the following types:
    • NetworkAddress target_address
    • long target_id

Example of network statistics usage can be found in all network samples. See <UnigineSDK>/data/network/samples/common/scripts/statistics.h.
