Summary of Task Offload Support in NDIS 6.0 Filter Drivers

NDIS 6.0 filter drivers can modify the task offload services that an underlying driver stack reports. You must consider the following issues when you create offload-aware filter drivers:

  • Filter drivers are provided with the offload capabilities of an underlying miniport adapter in the NDIS_FILTER_ATTACH_PARAMETERS structure when they are attached to the driver stack. Filter drivers must handle the NDIS_STATUS_TASK_OFFLOAD_CURRENT_CONFIG status indication to receive updated capabilities.

  • Filter drivers can monitor offload object identifiers (OIDs) and modify the responses of underlying drivers. For more information about NDIS 6.0 offload OIDs, see NDIS 6.0 Task Offload OIDs.

  • NDIS 6.0 filter drivers must not issue OID_TCP_TASK_OFFLOAD OID requests.
