DESCRIPTION

The Get-NetTCPSetting cmdlet gets TCP settings. TCP settings are optimized for different network conditions including latency and congestion. To

apply a TCP setting to a port number or destination IP address range, create a transport filter by using the New-NetTransportFilter cmdlet.



Specify a setting to get by using the SettingName parameter, or by specifying a transport filter that is associated with a setting. Specify

parameter values to determine which settings to get, or do not include any parameters to get all TCP settings.





PARAMETERS

-AssociatedTransportFilter [<CimInstance>]

Specifies CIM object for a transport filter associated with a setting. The cmdlet gets the setting for this transport filter. To obtain a

transport filter, use the Get-NetTransportFilter cmdlet.



Required? false

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-AutomaticUseCustom [<AutomaticUseCustom[]>]

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-AutoReusePortRangeNumberOfPorts [<UInt16[]>]

Specifies the number of ports for the auto-reuse port range, which is a port range used for local ephemeral port selection by outbound TCP

connections for which either SO_REUSE_UNICASTPORT has been set on the socket, or for which connect() has been called without calling bind() on

the socket.



If you specify 0, the auto-reuse feature is disabled and ephemeral ports are drawn instead from the dynamic port range as specified by

DynamicPortRangeStartPort and DynamicPortRangeNumberOfPorts, even if SO_REUSE_UNICASTPORT is set on a socket.

connections for which either SO_REUSE_UNICASTPORT has been set on the socket, or for which connect() has been called without calling bind() on

the socket.



If you specify 0, the auto-reuse feature is disabled and ephemeral ports are drawn instead from the dynamic port range as specified by

OUTPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\\StandardCimv2\\MSFT_NetTCPSetting



The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects.

The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.





Example 1: Get all TCP settings



PS C:\\>Get-NetTCPSetting



This command gets TCP settings. The command specifies no parameters, so it gets all TCP settings.





Example 2: Get Internet TCP settings



PS C:\\>Get-NetTCPSetting ????????Setting Internet



This command gets TCP settings that are optimized for connectivity across the Internet.





Example 3: View formatted TCP settings



PS C:\\>Get-NetTcpSetting | Format-Table
