NDIS Interface Types

NDIS interface types correspond to the IfType object that is defined in the management information base (MIB). These interface types are used in the IfType members and IfType parameters for many NDIS structures and functions.

NDIS interface types are registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which publishes a list of interface types periodically in the Assigned Numbers RFC, or in a derivative of it that is specific to Internet network management number assignments. For more information about the IANA IfType definitions, see IANA ifType MIB Definitions. For more information about the IANA, see the IANA Web site.

The following table describes IfType values.
