Managing NDIS Network Interfaces

NDIS network interface providers register network interfaces with NDIS. Before registering an interface, an interface provider obtains a NET_LUID value for that interface. NDIS assigns an interface index ( IfIndex in RFC 2863) to an interface when it is registered.

NDIS also provides services that drivers can use to manage entries in the interface stack table (ifStackTable in RFC 2863).
