Re: NDIS miniport Driver - packet re-ordering

I agree with GV that you don't need to reorder the packet.
But the question is why your packets not ordering? Is sender issue or
receiver issue?
You might fail on WDK NDIS testing if your packets are not ordering.

The IP protocol driver is responsible for reordering the packets. A
miniport driver is just responsible for delivering packets to the upper
layers as they are received, discarding packets with L2/physical errors
(e.g. wrong FCS).

Hope it helps

Hello,

I'm developing ndis-usb miniport driver.
If IP packet order was corrupted by any reason, Have to I re-order IP
packet?


I've reviewed the TCP / IP Layer concepts in wikipedia.org.
The doc said that TCP layer re-ordered Packets.


NDIS miniport driver isn't TCP / IP layer, so don't have to re-order
packet. right?


Best regards.
