OID_DOT11_LONG_RETRY_LIMIT (Compact 2013)

When queried, this OID requests that the miniport driver return the value of the IEEE 802.11 dot11LongtRetryLimit management information base (MIB) object.

This MIB object specifies the maximum number of retransmission attempts made by the 802.11 station for MSDU packets with lengths greater than the value of the IEEE 802.11 dot11RTSThreshold MIB object. For more information about the dot11RTSThreshold MIB object, see OID_DOT11_RTS_THRESHOLD.

The data type for this OID is a ULONG value from 1 through 255.

When the 802.11 station exceeds the maximum number of retransmission attempts defined by the dot11LongRetryLimit MIB object, it must do the following:

  • Discard the packet
  • If the miniport driver is operating in Extensible Station (ExtSTA) mode, increment the ullMaxRXLifetimeExceededCount member of the DOT11_STATISTICS structure. For more information about this structure, see OID_DOT11_STATISTICS.
