System.Net.Sockets.ProtocolFamily Enumeration

Summary

Specifies the type of protocol that an instance of the Socket class can use.

C# Syntax:

[Serializable] public enum ProtocolFamily

The ProtocolFamily enumeration specifies the protocol scheme used by the Socket class to resolve an address. For example, ProtocolFamily.InterNetwork indicates that the IP version 4 protocol is expected when a Socket connects to an endpoint.
