OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_TOTAL_SIZE (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_TOTAL_SIZE specifies the maximum total packet length, in bytes, the NIC supports. This specification includes the header.

The returned length depends on the particular medium. A protocol driver might use this returned length as a gauge to determine the maximum size packet that a NIC driver could forward to the protocol driver. If the protocol driver pre-allocates buffers, it allocates buffers accordingly. The returned length also specifies the largest packet a protocol driver can pass to NdisSend or NdisSendPackets.
