RtndReceiveFilterEx

RtndReceiveFilterEx is called when an incoming Ethernet frame is received from the NIC driver. This function will be called once per frame received. The filter can elect to send the frame up the stack and return TRUE or drop the frame by returning FALSE. This function is similar to RtndReceiveFilter, only it supplies an additional parameter when the filter routine is called. This additional parameter is a pointer to the network interface in question.

NOTE: Since this routine is called at every receive frame, this routine should complete its work quickly.

Syntax

BOOL RtndReceiveFilterEx(
   RTN_ETHERNET_HEADER *pEthernetHeader,
   VOID *pData,
   ULONG ulEthernetDataSize
   VOID *ndp,

);

Parameters

pEthernetHeader

Pointer to Ethernet header data that contains the value in EthernetHeader format.

pData

Pointer to a data location in theEthernet frame.

ulEthernetDataSize

Size of the Ethernet data in a frame, not including the size of the Ethernet header.

ndp

Pointer to an opaque network identifier, returned from a call to RtnGetDevicePtr().

Return Value

A return value of FALSE indicates the frame is being dropped. TRUE indicates that it is being sent to the stack.

Remarks

A filter driver must implement at least one of the following callbacks in each path:

RtndTransmitFilter or RtndTransmitFilterEx AND
RtndReceiveFilter or RtndReceiveFilterEx

At runtime, if the filter is enabled, the network driver will attempt first to call the -Ex function, if found. Otherwise, it will call the non -Ex function.

Please note that the packet is dropped if any of the above functions return FALSE.
