_NDIS_MEDIUM enumeration

Description

The NDIS_MEDIUM enumeration type identifies the medium types that NDIS drivers support.

Constants

NdisMedium802_3

Specifies an Ethernet (802.3) network.

NdisMedium802_5

Specifies a Token Ring (802.5) network.

Note Not supported in Windows 8 or later.

NdisMediumFddi

Specifies a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) network.

Note Not supported in Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 or later.

NdisMediumWan

Specifies a wide area network. This type covers various forms of point-to-point and WAN NICs, as well as variant address/header formats that must be negotiated between the protocol driver and the underlying driver after the binding is established.

NdisMediumLocalTalk

Specifies a LocalTalk network.

NdisMediumDix

Specifies an Ethernet network for which the drivers use the DIX Ethernet header format.

NdisMediumArcnetRaw

Specifies an ARCNET network.

Note Not supported in Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 or later.

NdisMediumArcnet878_2

Specifies an ARCNET (878.2) network.

Note Not supported in Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 or later.

NdisMediumAtm

Specifies an ATM network. Connection-oriented client protocol drivers can bind themselves to an underlying miniport driver that returns this value. Otherwise, legacy protocol drivers bind themselves to the system-supplied LanE intermediate driver, which reports its medium type as either of NdisMedium802_3 or NdisMedium802_5, depending on how the LanE driver is configured by the network administrator.

NdisMediumWirelessWan

Specifies a wireless network. NDIS 5.X miniport drivers that support wireless LAN (WLAN) or wireless WAN (WWAN) packets declare their medium as NdisMedium802_3 and emulate Ethernet to higher-level NDIS drivers.

Note Starting with Windows 7, this media type is supported and can be used for Mobile Broadband.

NdisMediumIrda

Specifies an infrared (IrDA) network.

NdisMediumBpc

Specifies a broadcast PC network.

NdisMediumCoWan

Specifies a wide area network in a connection-oriented environment.

NdisMedium1394

Specifies an IEEE 1394 (fire wire) network.

Note Not supported in Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 or later.

NdisMediumInfiniBand

Specifies an InfiniBand network.

NdisMediumTunnel

Specifies a tunnel network.

NdisMediumNative802_11

Specifies a native IEEE 802.11 network.

NdisMediumLoopback

Specifies an NDIS loopback network.

NdisMediumWiMAX

Specifies an IEEE 802.16 WiMAX network.

NdisMediumIP

Specifies a generic medium that is capable of sending and receiving raw IP packets.

NdisMediumMax

A maximum value for testing purposes.
