TA_ADDRESS structure

The TA_ADDRESS structure defines a single transport address of a specific type, for example, NetBIOS.

Syntax

typedef struct _TA_ADDRESS {
  USHORT AddressLength;
  USHORT AddressType;
  UCHAR  Address[1];
} TA_ADDRESS, *PTA_ADDRESS;

Members

  • AddressLength
    Specifies the number of bytes in an address of the specified AddressType.

    For example, each NetBIOS-type address is TDI_ADDRESS_LENGTH_NETBIOS bytes in length.

  • AddressType
    Specifies the type of the transport address. The system defines symbolic constants for possible address types, some corresponding to Windows Sockets values and some extensions defined by TDI. Defined address types include the following:

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_IP
      Internetwork: UDP, TCP, and so on

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_APPLETALK
      AppleTalk address.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_NETBIOS
      NetBIOS address.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_NETBIOS_EX
      Extended NetBIOS address.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_IPX
      NetWare IPX.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_VNS
      Banyan VINES IP address.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_8022
      802.2 netcard-level address; TDI only.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_NETONE
      Net/One address. TDI only.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_NS
      Xerox NS protocols.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_OSI_TSAP
      OSI, TSAP address; TDI only.

    The following are defined for future use:

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_IMPLINK
      Arpanet implink address.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_PUP
      Pup protocols, such as BSP.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_CHAOS
      MIT CHAOS protocols.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_NBS
      NBS protocols.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_ECMA
      European computer manufacturers association protocols.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_DATAKIT
      Datakit protocols.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_CCITT
      CCITT protocols.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_SNA
      IBM SNA.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_DECnet
      DECnet.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_DLI
      Direct data-link interface (DLC).

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_LAT
      LAT.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_HYLINK
      NSC Hyperchannel.

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_UNIX
      Local to host, for pipes, portals, and so on

    • TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_UNSPEC
      Unspecified type.

  • Address
    Specifies a variable-sized array containing the transport address. The structure of the contents depends on the specified AddressType.

Remarks

A TRANSPORT_ADDRESS structure contains a specified number of elements of type TA_ADDRESS.

For certain TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_XXX values, transports and their kernel-mode clients can use system-defined substructures for Address and corresponding TDI_ADDRESS_LENGTH_XXX constants for AddressLength.

For convenience, TDI defines TA_ADDRESS_XXX structures that specify a single address of certain TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_XXX types.

Note   The TDI feature is deprecated and will be removed in future versions of Microsoft Windows. Depending on how you use TDI, use either the Winsock Kernel (WSK) or Windows Filtering Platform (WFP). For more information about WFP and WSK, see Windows Filtering Platform and Winsock Kernel. For a Windows Core Networking blog entry about WSK and TDI, see Introduction to Winsock Kernel (WSK).
