c# - Weird network devices -

i using networkinformation namespace list network devices.

networkinterface.getallnetworkinterfaces(); 

when list, there weird unknown devices:

what they? , should i, , if, how, rid of them? in theory should show local area connection , wireless connection. under network connections can't find installed either.

windows has network 'devices' don't exist in terms of physical hardware - they're used various things, such vpn connections (like tunneling pseudo interface) , loopback adapter, responds 127.0.0.1

you can parse non-physical addresses using wmi query list of adapters instead,

using (managementobjectsearcher searcher = new managementobjectsearcher(new selectquery("win32_networkadapter"))) {     foreach (managementobject mo in searcher.get())     {         if ((bool)mo["physicaladapter"])             console.writeline(mo["name"]);     } } 

(taken msdn)

that'll return physical devices, you're casting true/false value of physicaladapter property bool.
