Extending The Microsoft PassThru NDIS Intermediate Driver
    Part 1 Adding a DeviceIoControl Interface

By Thomas Divine, Windows Driver Developer's Digest, Vol.1 No. 3, July 15, 2003

MACADDR II Sample (Added September 10, 2003)

The MACADDR II sample illustrates the use of Win32 DeviceIoControl calls to access NDIS MAC drivers using IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS. Using this IOCTL a Win32 application can have limited (query-only) access to a NDIS MAC driver without needing the support of a companion NDIS protocol driver.

This technique is only available on Windows NT through Windows Server 2003 and may not be supported in future Windows releases.

NDIS Packet Alteration/Encapsulation Techniques (Added September 9, 2003)

Driver excerpts of particular interest to NDIS Intermediate (IM) driver developers. The code snippets show how to change packets so as to encapsulate them, rather like VPN.

Note: This is not an entire application but rather a set of techniques that have been used in a full-fledged NDIS IM driver based on the DDK passthru sample.
