[The TCP chimney offload feature is deprecated and should not be used.]
The NDIS_OFFLOAD_HANDLE structure represents a driver's context for an offloaded state object.
NdisReservedReserved for use by NDIS.
MiniportOffloadContextA pointer that references a host memory location into which the underlying driver writes a PVOID value when completing the initiate offload operation. This PVOID value references the underlying driver's offload context for the offloaded state object.
When propagating the offload of a TCP chimney state object, an intermediate driver supplies a pointer to an NDIS_OFFLOAD_HANDLE structure. This pointer, in effect, references the intermediate driver's context for the offloaded state object.
The NDIS_OFFLOAD_HANDLE structure contains a MiniportOffloadContext pointer that references a memory location into which the underlying driver or offload target writes a PVOID value before completing the initiate offload operation. This PVOID value references the underlying driver's or offload target's context for the offloaded state object.
