Members

dwServiceFlags1
Bitmask describing the services provided by the protocol. The following table shows the possible values.

Value	Description
XP1_CONNECTIONLESS	Provides connectionless (datagram) service. If not set, the protocol supports connection-oriented data transfer
XP1_GUARANTEED_DELIVERY	Guarantees that all data sent will reach the intended destination.
XP1_GUARANTEED_ORDER	Guarantees that data only arrives in the order in which it was sent and that it is not duplicated. This characteristic does not necessarily mean that the data is always delivered, but that any data that is delivered is delivered in the order in which it was sent.
XP1_MESSAGE_ORIENTED	Honors message boundaries - as opposed to a stream-oriented protocol where there is no concept of message boundaries.
XP1_PSEUDO_STREAM	A message-oriented protocol, but message boundaries are ignored for all receipts. This is convenient when an application does not desire message framing to be done by the protocol.
XP1_GRACEFUL_CLOSE	Supports two-phase (graceful) close. If not set, only abortive closes are performed
XP1_EXPEDITED_DATA	Supports expedited (urgent) data.
XP1_CONNECT_DATA	Supports connect data.
XP1_DISCONNECT_DATA	Supports disconnect data.
XP1_INTERRUPT	Reserved.
XP1_SUPPORT_BROADCAST	Supports a broadcast mechanism.
XP1_SUPPORT_MULTIPOINT	Supports a multipoint or multicast mechanism. Control and data plane attributes are indicated below.
XP1_MULTIPOINT_CONTROL_PLANE	Indicates whether the control plane is rooted (value = 1) or nonrooted (value = 0).
XP1_MULTIPOINT_DATA_PLANE	Indicates whether the data plane is rooted (value = 1) or nonrooted (value = 0).
XP1_UNI_SEND	Protocol is unidirectional in the send direction.
XP1_UNI_RECV	Protocol is unidirectional in the recv direction.
XP1_IFS_HANDLES	Socket descriptors returned by the provider are operating system Installable File System (IFS) handles.
XP1_PARTIAL_MESSAGE	The MSG_PARTIAL flag is supported in WSASend and WSASendTo.

ProtocolChain
WSAPROTOCOLCHAIN structure associated with the protocol.

dwServiceFlags2
Reserved.

dwServiceFlags3
Reserved.

dwServiceFlags4
Reserved.

dwProviderFlags
Provides information about how this protocol is represented in the protocol catalog. The following flag values are possible:

Value	Description
PFL_MULTIPLE_PROTO_ENTRIES	Indicates that this is one of two or more entries for a single protocol (from a given provider) that is capable of implementing multiple behaviors. An example of this is SPX, which, on the receiving side, can behave either as a message-oriented, or a stream-oriented protocol.
PFL_RECOMMENDED_PROTO_ENTRY	Indicates that this is the recommended or most frequently used entry for a protocol that is capable of implementing multiple behaviors.
PFL_HIDDEN	Set by a provider to indicate to the WS2.dll that this protocol should not be returned in the result buffer generated by WSAEnumProtocols. Obviously, a Winsock application should never see an entry with this bit set.
PFL_MATCHES_PROTOCOL_ZERO	Indicates that a value of zero in the protocol parameter of socket (Windows Sockets) or WSASocket matches this protocol entry.

ProviderId
Globally unique identifier assigned to the provider by the service provider vendor. This value is useful for instances where more than one service provider is able to implement a particular protocol. An application may use the dwProviderIdvalue to distinguish between providers that might otherwise be indistinguishable.

dwCatalogEntryId
Unique identifier assigned by the WS2.DLL.

WSAPROTOCOLCHAIN ProtocolChain;

If the length of the chain is 0, this WSAPROTOCOL_INFOW entry represents a layered protocol, which has Winsock SPI as both its top and bottom edges. If the length of the chain equals 1, this entry represents a base protocol whose Catalog Entry identifier is in the dwCatalogEntryId member of the WSAPROTOCOL_INFOW structure. If the length of the chain is larger than 1, this entry represents a provider chain which consists of one or more layered protocols on top of a base protocol. The corresponding Catalog Entry identifiers are in the ProtocolChain.ChainEntries array starting with the layered protocol at the top (the zero element in the ProtocolChain.ChainEntries array) and ending with the base protocol. Refer to the Winsock Service Provider Interface specification for more information on provider chains.

iVersion
Protocol version identifier.

iAddressFamily
Value to pass as the address family parameter to the socket (Windows Sockets)/WSASocket function in order to open a socket for this protocol. This value also uniquely defines the structure of protocol addresses sockaddrs used by the protocol.

iMaxSockAddr
Maximum address length.

iMinSockAddr
Minimum address length.

iSocketType
Value to pass as the socket type parameter to the socket (Windows Sockets) function in order to open a socket for this protocol.

iProtocol
Value to pass as the protocol parameter to the socket (Windows Sockets) function in order to open a socket for this protocol.

iProtocolMaxOffset
Maximum value that may be added to iProtocol when supplying a value for the protocol parameter to socket and WSASocket. Not all protocols allow a range of values. When this is the case iProtocolMaxOffsetis zero.

iNetworkByteOrder
Currently these values are manifest constants (BIGENDIAN and LITTLEENDIAN) that indicate either big-endian or little-endian with the values 0 and 1 respectively.

iSecurityScheme
Indicates the type of security scheme employed (if any). A value of SECURITY_PROTOCOL_NONE is used for protocols that do not incorporate security provisions.

dwMessageSize
Maximum message size supported by the protocol. This is the maximum size that can be sent from any of the host's local interfaces. For protocols that do not support message framing, the actual maximum that can be sent to a given address may be less. There is no standard provision to determine the maximum inbound message size. The following table shows the special values that are defined.

Value	Description
0	The protocol is stream-oriented and hence the concept of message size is not relevant.
0x1	The maximum outbound (send) message size is dependent on the underlying network MTU (maximum sized transmission unit) and hence cannot be known until after a socket is bound. Applications should use getsockopt (Windows Sockets) to retrieve the value of SO_MAX_MSG_SIZE after the socket has been bound to a local address.
0xFFFFFFFF	The protocol is message-oriented, but there is no maximum limit to the size of messages that may be transmitted.

dwProviderReserved
Reserved for use by service providers.

szProtocol
Array of characters that contains a human-readable name identifying the protocol, for example, SPX2. The maximum number of characters allowed is WSAPROTOCOL_LEN, which is defined to be 255.
