<pre class="programlisting"> “network-available” <a href="../glib-Basic-Types.html#gboolean"><span class="type">gboolean</span></a></pre>
<p>Whether the network is considered available. That is, whether the
system has a default route for at least one of IPv4 or IPv6.</p>
<p>Real-world networks are of course much more complicated than
this; the machine may be connected to a wifi hotspot that
requires payment before allowing traffic through, or may be
connected to a functioning router that has lost its own upstream
connectivity. Some hosts might only be accessible when a VPN is
active. Other hosts might only be accessible when the VPN is
not active. Thus, it is best to use <a class="link" href="GNetworkMonitor.html#g-network-monitor-can-reach" title="g_network_monitor_can_reach ()"><code class="function">g_network_monitor_can_reach()</code></a>
or <a class="link" href="GNetworkMonitor.html#g-network-monitor-can-reach-async" title="g_network_monitor_can_reach_async ()"><code class="function">g_network_monitor_can_reach_async()</code></a> to test for reachability
on a host-by-host basis. (On the other hand, when the property is
<a href="../glib-Standard-Macros.html#FALSE:CAPS"><code class="literal">FALSE</code></a>, the application can reasonably expect that no remote
hosts at all are reachable, and should indicate this to the user
in its UI.)</p>

<pre class="programlisting"> “network-metered” <a href="../glib-Basic-Types.html#gboolean"><span class="type">gboolean</span></a></pre>
<p>Whether the network is considered metered. That is, whether the
system has traffic flowing through the default connection that is
subject to limitations set by service providers. For example, traffic
might be billed by the amount of data transmitted, or there might be a
quota on the amount of traffic per month. This is typical with tethered
connections (3G and 4G) and in such situations, bandwidth intensive
applications may wish to avoid network activity where possible if it will
cost the user money or use up their limited quota.</p>
<p>If more information is required about specific devices then the
system network management API should be used instead (for example,
NetworkManager or ConnMan).</p>
<p>If this information is not available then no networks will be
marked as metered.</p>
