This function is a required driver function in NDIS protocols that bind themselves to connectionless network adapter drivers. ProtocolReceive determines whether a received network packet is of interest to the protocol's clients and, if so, copies the indicated data and, possibly, calls NdisTransferData to retrieve the rest of the indicated packet.

Syntax

NDIS_STATUS ProtocolReceive(
  NDIS_HANDLE ProtocolBindingContext,
  NDIS_HANDLE MacReceiveContext,
  PVOID pHeader,
  UINT HeaderSize,
  PVOID LookAheadBuffer,
  UINT LookAheadBufferSize,
  UINT PacketSize 
);

Parameters

ProtocolBindingContext
[in] Specifies the handle to a protocol-allocated context area in which the protocol driver maintains per-binding runtime state. The driver supplied this handle when it called NdisOpenAdapter.

MacReceiveContext
[in] Specifies a context handle that the underlying network adapter driver associates with the packet received from the network. This handle is opaque to the protocol, reserved for use by the underlying driver that made the indication, and a required parameter to NdisTransferData.

pHeader
[in] Points to the base virtual address of a range containing the buffered packet header. The address is valid only within the current call to ProtocolReceive.

HeaderSize
[in] Specifies the number of bytes in the packet header.

LookAheadBuffer
[in] Points to the base virtual address of a range that contains LookaheadBufferSize bytes of buffered network packet data. This address is valid only within the current call to ProtocolReceive.

LookAheadBufferSize
[in] Specifies the number of bytes of network packet data in the lookahead buffer.

The indicating driver ensures this number is at least as large as the size it returned for the protocol's preceding call to NdisRequest with OID_GEN_CURRENT_LOOKAHEAD or the size of the packet, whichever is less.

If PacketSize is less than or equal to the given LookaheadBufferSize, the lookahead buffer contains the entire packet. If the underlying driver made the indication with NdisMIndicateReceivePacket, the lookahead buffer always contains a full network packet.

PacketSize
[in] Specifies the size, in bytes, of the network packet data. The length of the packet does not include the length of the header.

ProtocolReceive determines whether the protocol must call NdisTransferData by comparing this parameter to the given LookaheadBufferSize.

Return Value

The following table shows values that ProtocolReceive can return.

Value	Description
NDIS_STATUS_NOT_ACCEPTED	The protocol has no use for the indicated packet, that is, it has no current clients interested in the indicated network data. Returning this status quickly for rejected packets yields higher performance for the protocol and the highest possible network I/O throughput for the system as a whole.
NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS	ProtocolReceive has processed the header information and accepted the packet, that is, it has copied the indicated network data from the header and lookahead buffers and, possibly, called NdisTransferData to retrieve the remaining data if less than a full network packet was indicated.

Remarks

NDIS provides equal packet access for any number of protocol drivers bound above an underlying connectionless network adapter miniport. NDIS can use the status that ProtocolReceive returns to optimize the order in which bound protocols receive indications for subsequent packets.

When a miniport calls a filter-specific NdisMXXXIndicateReceive function, NDIS calls the ProtocolReceive functions of bound protocols. A call to an NdisMXXXIndicateReceive function indicates that a network packet, or some initial lookahead portion of it, is available for inspection by bound protocols. Each ProtocolReceive function, in turn, inspects the packet header and data, optionally copies as much of the header and/or data as is made available, and calls NdisTransferData to instruct the network adapter driver to copy any remaining data into a protocol-supplied buffer chained to a protocol-allocated packet descriptor if the protocol accepts the packet. ProtocolReceive can call NdisTransferData only once per receive indication.

Before a serialized miniport calls NdisMIndicateReceivePacket with a packet array, it can set the Status member of an out-of-band block associated with a packet descriptor in the array to NDIS_STATUS_RESOURCES. This also causes NDIS to call the ProtocolReceive functions of bound protocols with the network packet header and data specified by that packet descriptor and, separately, with the received network packets specified in all subsequent descriptors in the indicated packet array. Each ProtocolReceive function, in turn, inspects the given network packet header and data and each optionally copies the indicated network packet data.

If the underlying miniport supplies out-of-band information with the receives it indicates, ProtocolReceive can call NdisGetReceivedPacket or NDIS_GET_ORIGINAL_PACKET to retrieve the out-of-band information for each such packet. Because such an underlying miniport always indicates full-packet receives, ProtocolReceive will never call NdisTransferData for a packet indicated with NdisMIndicateReceivePacket.

NDIS calls ProtocolReceive functions sequentially as calls to NdisMXXXIndicateReceive or NdisTransferData occur, but it can indicate a packet to bound protocols using separate calls. However, every protocol must be able to handle out-of-order received packets because neither NDIS nor the underlying network adapter miniport has any control over the network over which packets are transmitted.

A driver writer should minimize the amount of time spent in the ProtocolReceive function so that the protocol does not lose additional incoming packets, particularly from underlying drivers that call the filter-specific NdisMXXXIndicateReceive functions. ProtocolReceive must either reject an incoming packet or recognize the packet as of interest to its clients quickly. If it accepts the packet, ProtocolReceive must find a place to put packet data and copy the data quickly. Shortly after ProtocolReceive returns, when time constraints are not so severe, any underlying miniport that made one or more indications with NdisMXXXIndicateReceive will call the corresponding NdisMXXXIndicateReceiveComplete. The protocol driver's ProtocolReceiveComplete function then performs any necessary post-processing for the original indications.

The underlying driver does not remove any headers or trailers from the packet data received on its network adapter, nor does it remove any received padding. In other words, a packet can include padding in the data and length indicated to protocols. ProtocolReceive is responsible for detecting and ignoring such padding.
