Receiving Data in an Intermediate Driver with a Connection-Oriented Lower Edge (NDIS 5.1)
Note NDIS 5. x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6. x. For new NDIS driver development, see Network Drivers Starting with Windows Vista. For information about porting NDIS 5. x drivers to NDIS 6. x, see Porting NDIS 5.x Drivers to NDIS 6.0.
An underlying connection-oriented miniport driver indicates packets by calling NdisMCoIndicateReceivePacket, passing a pointer to an array of pointers to one or more packet descriptors. If an intermediate driver is layered above the miniport driver, NDIS then calls the intermediate driver's ProtocolCoReceivePacketfunction.
