Uses of Class
java.net.NetworkInterface ^{Java DOCS}

Packages that use NetworkInterface

Package	Description

Methods in java.net that return NetworkInterface

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static NetworkInterface	NetworkInterface.getByIndex(int index)	Get a network interface given its index.
static NetworkInterface	NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(InetAddress addr)	Convenience method to search for a network interface that has the specified Internet Protocol (IP) address bound to it.
static NetworkInterface	NetworkInterface.getByName(String name)	Searches for the network interface with the specified name.
NetworkInterface	MulticastSocket.getNetworkInterface()	Get the multicast network interface set for outgoing multicast datagrams sent from this socket.
NetworkInterface	NetworkInterface.getParent()	Returns the parent NetworkInterface of this interface if this is a subinterface, or null if it is a physical (non virtual) interface or has no parent.
NetworkInterface	Inet6Address.getScopedInterface()	Returns the scoped interface, if this instance was created with a scoped interface.

Methods in java.net that return types with arguments of type NetworkInterface

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static Enumeration<NetworkInterface>	NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces()	Returns an Enumeration of all the interfaces on this machine.
Enumeration<NetworkInterface>	NetworkInterface.getSubInterfaces()	Get an Enumeration with all the subinterfaces (also known as virtual interfaces) attached to this network interface.
static Stream<NetworkInterface>	NetworkInterface.networkInterfaces()	Returns a Stream of all the interfaces on this machine.
Stream<NetworkInterface>	NetworkInterface.subInterfaces()	Get a Stream of all subinterfaces (also known as virtual interfaces) attached to this network interface.
