NDIS
The Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) component
provides the run time environment (APIs, execution context) used by all network
device (NIC) drivers, as well as by network protocols (e.g. TCP/IP). NIC
drivers and network drivers use NDIS APIs to interact with each other. NDIS
also supports a mechanism for administering network protocols by using
NetConfig.
Configuring the Component
There are no configuration requirements for this component.
Design Issues
- NDIS is a base component required for any type of
network functionality.
- NDIS must be started before any other network driver
starts.
