Name
A string that identifies this ProtocolEndpoint with either a port or an
interface on a device. To ensure uniqueness, the Name property
should be prepended or appended with information from the Type
or OtherTypeDescription properties. The method selected is
described in the NameFormat property of this class.
NameFormat
Contains the naming heuristic that is selected to ensure that the
value of the Name property is unique. For example, you may
choose to prepend the name of the port or interface with the Type
of ProtocolEndpoint (for example, IPv4) of this instance followed by
an underscore.
OtherTypeDescription
A string that describes the type of ProtocolEndpoint when the Type
property of this class (or any of its subclasses) is set to 1 (Other).
This property should be set to null when the Type property is any
value other than 1.
