NDIS_GET_PACKET_TIME_SENT 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 x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6.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.
NDIS_GET_PACKET_TIME_SENT returns the TimeSent value from the out-of-band data block associated with a given packet descriptor.
Syntax
ULONGLONG NDIS_GET_PACKET_TIME_SENT(
_In_ PNDIS_PACKET Packet
);
Parameters
- Packet [in]
Pointer to a packet descriptor.
Return value
NDIS_GET_PACKET_TIME_SENT returns the timestamp, if any, set by the miniport driver when the net packet was received on the underlying NIC.
Remarks
When a protocol driver's ProtocolReceivePacket function is called with an indication, it can use this macro to retrieve the TimeSent timestamp using the Packet pointer it is given on entry. This value was set originally by a protocol on the remote node that transmitted the packet as the TimeToSend timestamp.
A protocol driver can call NdisGetReceivedPacket followed by NDIS_GET_PACKET_TIME_SENT to obtain this timestamp from the NDIS_PACKET_OOB_DATA block associated with a packet descriptor when its ProtocolReceive function is given an indication. However, these calls are superfluous if the protocol is bound to an underlying driver that does not supply out-of-band information with its indications.
All timestamps set in the NDIS_PACKET_OOB_DATA blocks associated with packets are expressed in system time units as the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601.
A highest-level protocol driver might use this macro before it forwards a received net packet to clients if its clients expect timestamps. Still higher-level drivers or system components can convert this timestamp into locale-specific values more meaningful to the end user.
