C Windows - Get IPv4 bandwidth usage Statistics

With the .NET Framework we can retrieve the received and sent bytes with the following functions.

NetworkInterface.GetIPv4Statistics().BytesReceived
NetworkInterface.GetIPv4Statistics().BytesSent

But i cannot find the alternative in native C. The closest i found was the GetIpStatistics. However this seems to be global instead of per interface.

Can anyone point me into the right direction?

Allthough we can all furiously debate what the correct terminology is, I think you can find what you seek by calling the GetIfTable function.

This will return a MIB_IFTABLE struct, which in turn has MIB_IFROW elements that contain the data you're looking for for the various network interfaces on your machine.
