NDIS NdisMediumXxx Types (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
NDIS uses NdisMediumXxx type values to identity the medium types that NDIS drivers support. The NDIS NdisMediumXxx types include the following values:
- NdisMedium802_3
Specifies an Ethernet (802.3) network.
- NdisMedium802_5
Specifies a Token Ring (802.5) network.
- NdisMediumFddi
Specifies a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) network.
- NdisMediumWan
Specifies a wide area network. This type covers various forms of point-to-point and WAN network adapters, and variant address/header formats that must be negotiated between the protocol driver and the underlying driver after the binding is established.
- NdisMediumLocalTalk
Specifies a LocalTalk network.
- NdisMediumDix
Specifies an Ethernet network for which the drivers use the DIX Ethernet header format.
- NdisMediumArcnetRaw
Specifies an ARCNET network.
- NdisMediumArcnet878_2
Specifies an ARCNET (878.2) network.
- NdisMediumAtm
Specifies an ATM network. Connection-oriented client protocol drivers can bind themselves to an underlying miniport driver that returns this value. Otherwise, legacy protocol drivers bind themselves to the system-supplied LanE intermediate driver, which reports its medium type as either of NdisMedium802_3 or NdisMedium802_5, depending on how the LanE driver is configured by the network administrator.
- NdisMediumWirelessWan
Specifies a wireless network. NDIS 5.X miniport drivers that support wireless LAN (WLAN) or wireless WAN (WWAN) packets declare their medium as NdisMedium802_3 and emulate Ethernet to higher-level NDIS drivers.
- NdisMediumCoWan
Specifies a wide area network in a connection-oriented environment.
- NdisMedium1394
Specifies an IEEE 1394 (fire wire) network.
- NdisMediumBpc
Specifies a broadcast device network.
- NdisMediumInfiniBand
Specifies an InfiniBand network.
- NdisMediumTunnel
Specifies a tunnel network.
- NdisMediumLoopback
Specifies an NDIS loopback network.
- NdisMediumNative802_11
Specifies a native IEEE 802.11 network.
- NdisMediumXdsl
Specifies an xDSL connection-oriented network environment.
