Remarks

It is optional for the device to implement REMOTE_NDIS_HALT_MSG. If implemented, the device sends this message to the host through the control channel only when the device is in a state initialized by Remote NDIS. The device must terminate all communication immediately after sending this message. Sending this message causes the device to enter a state not initialized by Remote NDIS.

All outstanding requests and packets should be discarded on receipt of this message.
