Querying 64-Bit Statistics OIDs
All miniport drivers that are 1 Gigabyte per second (Gbps) and faster must support 64-bit counters for certain statistics OIDs. All 100 Megabytes per second (Mbps) and faster miniport drivers should support 64-bit counters for such OIDs. For more information about statistics OIDs for connectionless miniport drivers, see General Statistics. For more information about such OIDs for connection-oriented miniport drivers, see General Statistics for Connection-Oriented Miniport Drivers.
A requester that queries a statistics OID sets NDIS_OID_REQUEST InformationBufferLength to 4 (bytes) to indicate a 32-bit statistics request or to 8 (bytes) to indicate a 64-bit statistics request. In its response, the miniport driver sets NDIS_OID_REQUEST BytesNeeded to the size of the statistics value that the miniport driver supports (4 for 32-bits or 8 for 64-bits). The miniport driver sets NDIS_OID_REQUEST BytesWritten to the smaller of the InformationBufferLength value and the size of statistics that the miniport driver supports.
The following sections describe how a miniport driver that supports 64-bit statistics OIDs responds to queries of such OIDs.
64-bit query of a 64-bit value
NDIS_OID_REQUEST InformationBufferLength is greater than or equal to 8.
The miniport driver:
Returns the 64-bit value in the information buffer.
Sets NDIS_OID_REQUEST BytesWritten to 8.
Returns NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS from its MiniportOidRequest or MiniportCoOidRequest function.
32-bit query of a 64-bit value
NDIS_OID_REQUEST InformationBufferLength is greater to or equal to 4 and less than 8.
The miniport driver:
Returns, in the information buffer, the lower 32 bits of the 64-bit value.
Sets NDIS_OID_REQUEST BytesWritten to 4.
Sets NDIS_OID_REQUEST BytesNeeded to 8.
Returns NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS from its MiniportOidRequest or MiniportCoOidRequest function.
Invalid-length query of a 64-bit value
NDIS_OID_REQUEST InformationBufferLength is less than 4.
The miniport driver:
Does not return any value in the information buffer.
Sets NDIS_OID_REQUEST BytesWritten to 0.
Sets NDIS_OID_REQUEST BytesNeeded to 8.
Returns NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_LENGTH from its MiniportOidRequest or MiniportCoOidRequest function.
