NDIS NdisMediumXxx Types (Compact 7)

  • Article

3/12/2014

NDIS uses NdisMediumXxx type values to identity the medium types that NDIS drivers support. The NDIS NdisMediumXxx types include the following values:

  • NdisMedium802_3
    Specifies an Ethernet (802.3) network.
  • NdisMedium802_5
    Specifies a Token Ring (802.5) network.
  • NdisMediumFddi
    Specifies a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) network.
  • NdisMediumWan
    Specifies a wide area network. This type covers various forms of point-to-point and WAN network adapters, and variant address/header formats that must be negotiated between the protocol driver and the underlying driver after the binding is established.
  • NdisMediumLocalTalk
    Specifies a LocalTalk network.
  • NdisMediumDix
    Specifies an Ethernet network for which the drivers use the DIX Ethernet header format.
  • NdisMediumArcnetRaw
    Specifies an ARCNET network.
  • NdisMediumArcnet878_2
    Specifies an ARCNET (878.2) network.
  • NdisMediumAtm
    Specifies an ATM network. Connection-oriented client protocol drivers can bind themselves to an underlying miniport driver that returns this value. Otherwise, legacy protocol drivers bind themselves to the system-supplied LanE intermediate driver, which reports its medium type as either of NdisMedium802_3 or NdisMedium802_5, depending on how the LanE driver is configured by the network administrator.
  • NdisMediumWirelessWan
    Specifies a wireless network. NDIS 5.X miniport drivers that support wireless LAN (WLAN) or wireless WAN (WWAN) packets declare their medium as NdisMedium802_3 and emulate Ethernet to higher-level NDIS drivers.
  • NdisMediumCoWan
    Specifies a wide area network in a connection-oriented environment.
  • NdisMedium1394
    Specifies an IEEE 1394 (fire wire) network.
  • NdisMediumBpc
    Specifies a broadcast device network.
  • NdisMediumInfiniBand
    Specifies an InfiniBand network.
  • NdisMediumTunnel
    Specifies a tunnel network.
  • NdisMediumLoopback
    Specifies an NDIS loopback network.
  • NdisMediumNative802_11
    Specifies a native IEEE 802.11 network.
  • NdisMediumXdsl
    Specifies an xDSL connection-oriented network environment.
