OID_GEN_TRANSMIT_BLOCK_SIZE

  • Article

As a query, the OID_GEN_TRANSMIT_BLOCK_SIZE OID specifies the minimum number of bytes that a single net packet occupies in the transmit buffer space of the NIC.

Remarks

The OID_GEN_TRANSMIT_BLOCK_SIZE OID specifies the minimum number of bytes that a single net packet occupies in the transmit buffer space of the NIC. For example, a NIC that has a transmit space divided into 256-byte pieces would have a transmit block size of 256 bytes. To calculate the total transmit buffer space on such a NIC, its driver multiplies the number of transmit buffers on the NIC by its transmit block size.

For other NICs, the transmit block size is identical to its maximum packet size.
