Description

The PktMonClntAddEdge function adds an edge to a Packet Monitor component. An edge represents a pair of entry/exit points for a component. It can be referred to as a boundary for a component. Each component optionally registers its lower or/and upper edge.

Parameters

CompContext

Pointer to the PKTMON_COMPONENT_CONTEXT structure that holds the context for the component.

Name

The name of the edge being added.

PacketType

Packet type to be handled by this edge. Must be a valid value defined in PKTMON_PACKET_TYPE.

EdgeContext

Pointer to a PKTMON_EDGE_CONTEXT which will store the context information for this edge.

Return value

If the function succeeds, it returns STATUS_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it returns a NTSTATUS error code.

Remarks

An edge represents a pair of entry and exit points for a component. It can be referred to as a boundary for a component. Each component optionally registers its lower and upper edge. A component can have multiple edges. One call to PktMonClntAddEdge should be made for each of these edges.

The ListLink member of PKTMON_EDGE_CONTEXT is used to track all the edge contexts belonging to a component. ListLink can be used to access these edge contexts.
