NdisMCoIndicateStatus function

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 x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6.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.

NdisMCoIndicateStatus indicates a change in the status of a connection-oriented NIC to bound protocols, or a change in the status of a particular VC active on the NIC.

Syntax

VOID NdisMCoIndicateStatus(
  _In_     NDIS_HANDLE MiniportAdapterHandle,
  _In_opt_ NDIS_HANDLE NdisVcHandle,
  _In_     NDIS_STATUS GeneralStatus,
  _In_opt_ PVOID       StatusBuffer,
  _In_     ULONG       StatusBufferSize
);

Parameters

  • MiniportAdapterHandle [in]
    Specifies the NDIS-supplied handle originally input to MiniportInitialize.

  • NdisVcHandle [in, optional]
    Specifies the handle to the VC for which VC-specific status is being indicated. The miniport driver originally obtained this handle as an input parameter to its MiniportCoCreateVc function. To make a notification of a general status change in the NIC to all bound protocols, this handle should be NULL.

  • GeneralStatus [in]
    Specifies the NDIS_STATUS_XXX value that describes the change in status.

  • StatusBuffer [in, optional]
    Pointer to a caller-allocated buffer containing medium- and status-specific information, if any, supplemental to the value at GeneralStatus. This parameter can be NULL.

  • StatusBufferSize [in]
    Specifies the size in bytes of the buffer at StatusBuffer, zero if StatusBuffer is NULL

Return value

None

Remarks

A call to NdisMCoIndicateStatus with a NULLNdisVcHandle causes NDIS to forward the miniport driver's status-change notification to all bound protocols by calling each bound protocol's ProtocolCoStatus function in turn. A call with an explicit NdisVcHandle restricts such a notification only to the client and/or, possibly, call manager, with which the miniport driver shares this VC handle.

In either case, such a notification makes it possible for protocols to log the change in status or to take corrective action. For example, a protocol might call NdisReset, depending on the NDIS_STATUS_XXX indicated by the underlying NIC driver.

When a miniport driver senses that the network connection has been lost, it should call NdisMCoIndicateStatus with NDIS_STATUS_MEDIA_DISCONNECT. When the connection is restored, the miniport driver should call NdisMCoIndicateStatus with NDIS_STATUS_MEDIA_CONNECT.

When a miniport driver calls NdisMCoIndicateStatus to report operational problems in its NIC, NDIS itself can call the MiniportReset function to try restoring the NIC to a working condition. In these circumstances, NDIS calls bound protocols only with NDIS_STATUS_RESET_START and later with NDIS_STATUS_RESET_END, rather that forwarding the GeneralStatus that the miniport driver passed to NdisMCoIndicateStatus.

A miniport driver cannot call NdisMCoIndicateStatus in the context of its MiniportInitialize, MiniportISR, MiniportHalt, or MiniportShutdown function.

WAN Miniport Driver Calls to NdisMCoIndicateStatus

A CoNDIS WAN miniport driver indicates VC status with specific status codes and buffer contents. These status indications are generated by a CoNDIS WAN miniport driver. A connection-oriented client (protocol) that shares the VC with such a miniport driver can ignore these indications. However, processing these indications typically results in improved performance for a protocol and miniport driver.

The following types of CoNDIS-WAN-specific indications can be sent to connection-oriented clients with NdisMCoIndicateStatus:

  • Link parameters

  • Fragment

NDIS_STATUS_WAN_CO_LINKPARAMS

A CoNDIS WAN miniport driver makes a link-parameters indication whenever parameters for a particular VC that is active on the NIC change.

The status code for the link-parameters indication is NDIS_STATUS_WAN_CO_LINKPARAMS. The buffer at StatusBuffer is formatted as an WAN_CO_LINKPARAMS structure.

NDIS_STATUS_WAN_CO_FRAGMENT

A CoNDIS WAN miniport driver makes a fragment indication whenever it receives a partial packet from the endpoint of a virtual connection. After this indication occurs, a connection-oriented client should send frames to the connection-oriented client at the other end of the VC. These frames will notify the opposite endpoint of this partial-packet situation, rather than waiting for a time-out to occur.

The status code for the fragment indication is NDIS_STATUS_WAN_CO_FRAGMENT. The buffer at StatusBuffer is formatted as an NDIS_WAN_CO_FRAGMENT structure.

NDISWAN monitors dropped packets by counting the number of fragment indications on each link.
