Indicating and Transferring Received Data (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 x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6.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.
To indicate one or more receive packets to higher drivers, connectionless miniport drivers call NdisMIndicateReceivePacket; connection-oriented packets call NdisMCoIndicateReceivePacket.
Legacy connectionless miniport drivers that do not support NdisMIndicateReceivePacketcall a medium-specific NdisMXxxIndicateReceive function to indicate a single packet to higher drivers.
