EthFilterIndicateReceive
This function is called by a network adapter driver to indicate a received packet to all filter library database bindings associated with an Ethernet address.
VOID EthFilterIndicateReceive(
IN PETH_FILTER Filter,
IN NDIS_HANDLE MacReceiveContext,
IN PCHAR Address,
IN PVOID HeaderBuffer,
IN UINT HeaderBufferSize,
IN PVOID LookaheadBuffer,
IN UINT LookaheadBufferSize,
IN UINT PacketSize );
Parameters
- Filter
Pointer to a previously created and initialized filter library database. - MacReceiveContext
Specifies a context that the network adapter driver associates with a packet received from the network. - Address
Pointer to the destination address that the network adapter driver has already extracted from the received packet. - HeaderBuffer
Pointer to the virtual address of the virtually contiguous buffer containing the packet header. The buffer is valid only within the current call to this function. - HeaderBufferSize
Indicates the length, in bytes, of the packet header. - LookaheadBuffer
Pointer to the virtual address of the virtually contiguous buffer containing the first bytes of packet data. The packet buffer is valid only for the current call to this function. - LookaheadBufferSize
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the look-ahead buffer. - PacketSize
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the received packet data. This parameter number is not related to the look-ahead buffer, but rather indicates the size of the received packet data. This allows a protocol driver to call the NdisTransferData function and to transfer data in the packet, as necessary. The data length does not include the packet header length.
Remarks
Instead of calling NdisIndicateReceive without filtering, the network adapter driver calls this function to filter a received packet so that only the appropriate bindings receive it. This function then calls the ProtocolReceive function of each protocol driver to which the binding filter applies.
In its calls to ProtocolReceive, this function passes each protocol driver a pointer to the packet header as well as a pointer to some or all of the packet data. The protocol driver can inspect the header and data in the packet, optionally copy as much of the header or data as is visible, or optionally call NdisTransferData to instruct the network adapter driver to copy the data into a protocol-supplied packet.
