|
| NDIS_STATUS | IOStatus |
| | Maintains the status of and OID request call, that will be passed to the application.
|
| HANDLE | DumpFileHandle |
| | Handle of the file used in dump mode.
|
| PFILE_OBJECT | DumpFileObject |
| | Pointer to the object of the file used in dump mode.
|
| PKTHREAD | DumpThreadObject |
| | Pointer to the object of the thread used in dump mode.
|
| HANDLE | DumpThreadHandle |
| | Handle of the thread created by dump mode to asynchronously move the buffer to disk.
|
| NDIS_EVENT | DumpEvent |
| | Event used to synchronize the dump thread with the tap when the instance is in dump mode.
|
| LARGE_INTEGER | DumpOffset |
| | Current offset in the dump file.
|
| UNICODE_STRING | DumpFileName |
| | String containing the name of the dump file.
|
| UINT | MaxDumpBytes |
| UINT | MaxDumpPacks |
| BOOLEAN | DumpLimitReached |
| NDIS_SPIN_LOCK | MachineLock |
| | SpinLock that protects the BPF filter and the TME engine, if in use.

| | Pool of kernel buffer structures, one for each CPU.
|
| ULONG | ReaderSN |
| | Sequence number of the next packet to be read from the pool of kernel buffers.
|
| ULONG | WriterSN |
| ULONG | Size |
| | Size of each kernel buffer contained in the CpuData field.
|
| ULONG | AdapterHandleUsageCounter |
| NDIS_SPIN_LOCK | AdapterHandleLock |
| ULONG | AdapterBindingStatus |
| | Specifies if NPF is still bound to the adapter used by this instance, it's unbinding or it's not bound.
|
| NDIS_EVENT | NdisOpenCloseCompleteEvent |
| NDIS_EVENT | NdisWriteCompleteEvent |
| | Event that is signalled when all the packets have been successfully sent by NdisSend (and corresponfing sendComplete has been called).
|
| NTSTATUS | OpenCloseStatus |
| ULONG | TransmitPendingPackets |
| | Specifies the number of packets that are pending to be transmitted, i.e. have been submitted to NdisSendXXX but the SendComplete has not been called yet.
|
| ULONG | NumPendingIrps |
| BOOLEAN | ClosePending |
| NDIS_SPIN_LOCK | OpenInUseLock |
Contains the state of a running instance of the NPF driver.
This is the most important structure of NPF: it is used by almost all the functions of the driver. An _OPEN_INSTANCE structure is associated with every user-level session, allowing concurrent access to the driver.
