Offloading Internet Protocol Security Tasks in NDIS 6.0

Offloading Internet protocol security (IPsec) tasks at run time in NDIS 6.0 is similar to NDIS 5.x. The primary differences are:

• Send and receive operations in NDIS 6.0 use NET_BUFFER structures instead of NDIS_PACKET structures.

• Out-of-band (OOB) data in NDIS 6.0 is stored in the NET_BUFFER_LIST information array. For more information about OOB data, see Accessing TCP/IP Offload NET_BUFFER_LIST Information.
