NIC Driver API Functions

Adjusts the time of a NIC clock by applying an offset to the current counter value.

Allocates a set of receive frame data buffers.

Allocates a set of transmit frame data buffers.

Fetches all buffers inserted in the Receive Queue with RtndSubmitRxBuffer.

Transmits all buffers inserted in the Transmit Queue with RtndSubmitTxBuffer.

Attaches the specified Receive Queue to the current application process.

Attaches the specified Transmit Queue to the current application process.

Controls a special function of a device.

Detaches the specified Receive Queue from the current application process.

Detaches the specified Transmit Queue from the current application process.

Enables or disables the receive interrupt for a specific Receive Queue.

Enables or disables the transmit interrupt for a specific Transmit Queue.

Ends a driver that was initiated by the RtndInitDriver function.

Determines whether the Egress Timestamp register associated with a given Transmit Queue is valid and, if it is, returns the Egress Timestamp value.

Extracts a filled buffer from the specified Receive Queue.

Extracts a consumed buffer from the specified Transmit Queue.

Frees a set of receive frame data buffers previously allocated by RtndAllocateRxFrameDataBuffers.

Frees a set of transmit frame data buffers previously allocated by RtndAllocateTxFrameDataBuffers.

Gets an entry in the EtherType Hardware Dispatcher table.

Gets an entry in the PCP Hardware Dispatcher table.

Gets an entry in the UDP Port Hardware Dispatcher table.

Gets multiple buffers from the driver's pool of available transmit buffers.

Initializes the driver and exchanges global information between the driver and the Network Link Layer (NL2).

Manages an interface on the PCI Bus.

Gets a given capability of an interface.

Gets a given feature of an interface.

Gets the Link Status of an interface.

Gets the MAC address of an interface.

Reads a NIC clock time and CPU time simultaneously (cross-timestamp) and returns all timestamps.

Returns multiple buffers to the driver's pool of available transmit buffers.

Sets the Credit-Based Shaper parameters on a given Transmit Queue.

Sets the rate of a NIC clock.

Updates an entry in the EtherType Hardware Dispatcher table.

Updates an entry in the PCP Hardware Dispatcher table.

Updates an entry in the UDP Port Hardware Dispatcher.

Writes a given setting to the interface.

Requests the interface to change the value of the interval, in nanoseconds, for interrupt moderation. If the interrupt type is MSI-X, the NL2 will supply the message ID of the MSI-X message to throttle. Otherwise, the NL2 will set the MessageId parameter to zero (0).

Updates the hardware Multicast Hash Filter of an interface.

Requests the interface to enable or disable the Pass Bad Frames mode.

Requests the interface to enable or disable promiscuous mode.

Shuts down an interface. After the function returns, the NIC will no longer generate a hardware interrupt.

Starts an interface.

Starts the specified Receive Queue.

Starts the specified Transmit Queue.

Stops an interface.

Stops the specified Receive Queue.

Stops the specified Transmit Queue.

Inserts a buffer into the specified Receive Queue.

Inserts a buffer into the specified Transmit Queue.
