NetworkAdapter.IanaInterfaceType = 243 means Mobile Broadband interface ?

Question

I'm using Windows 8 RC for testing currently.

I've been leaning about Network Information API using the sample source code.

I suppose this Api can enumerate network interface profiles.

I checked the interface type of Mobile Broadband device using this api.

The result was 243.

But 243 is not listed at the URL below.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.networking.connectivity.networkadapter.ianainterfacetype.aspx

I want to confirm if it is correct.

If correct, please add 243.

Answer 1

That page links to the full list of available interface types maintained by IANA, available at http://www.iana.org/assignments/ianaiftype-mib/ianaiftype-mib.  As that list indicates, 243 is a 3GPP mobile broadband network, and 244 is a 3GPP2 mobile broadband network.
