GetTeredoPort function

The GetTeredoPort function retrieves the dynamic UDP port number that the Teredo client uses on a local computer.

Syntax

NETIOAPI_API GetTeredoPort(
  _Out_ USHORT *Port
);

Parameters

  • Port [out]
    A pointer to the UDP port number. On successful return, this parameter is filled with the port number that the Teredo client uses.

Return value

GetTeredoPort returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the function succeeds.

If the function fails, GetTeredoPort returns one of the following error codes:

Return code Description
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER

An invalid parameter was passed to the function. This error is returned if a NULL pointer is passed in the Port parameter.

ERROR_NOT_READY

The device is not ready. This error is returned if the Teredo client is not started on the local computer.

STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED

The request is not supported. This error is returned if no IPv6 stack is located on the local computer.

Other

Use the FormatMessage function to obtain the message string for the returned error.

Remarks

The GetTeredoPort function retrieves the current UDP port number that the Teredo client usesfor the Teredo service port. The Teredo port is dynamic and can change any time that the Teredo client is restarted on the local computer. A driver can register to be notified when the Teredo service port changes by calling the NotifyTeredoPortChange function.

The Teredo client also uses static UDP port 3544 for listening to multicast traffic that is sent on multicast IPv4 address 224.0.0.253 as defined in RFC 4380. For more information, see Teredo: Tunneling IPv6 over UDPthrough Network Address Translations (NATs).

The GetTeredoPort function is used primarily by firewall drivers in order to configure the appropriate exceptions to enable incoming and outgoing Teredo traffic.
