OID_WAN_HEADER_FORMAT (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
This object requests the miniport driver to return or to set the address-header format that is used, as either of the following system-defined values:
Address header |
Description |
|---|---|
NdisWanHeaderEthernet |
Selects Ethernet-emulation format |
NdisWanHeaderNative |
Selects the format native to the NdisWanMediumXXX subtype that is supported by the underlying driver. NDISWAN always uses Ethernet |
For a query, the miniport driver returns a list of the address formats that the network adapter driver supports. For a set, the miniport driver subsequently uses the given type to format headers for this binding.
If an underlying NDIS driver does not support a header format that a protocol recognizes, that protocol's attempt to bind to the underlying driver fails. A network adapter driver is not required to support both address types of header format. However, it should do so if it can.
