Remote NDIS Based Internet Sharing Device #2 Driver



-->Device

Remote NDIS is an extension of the well-understood and time-tested NDIS architecture. NDIS defines a function-call interface for device-specific NDIS miniport drivers. This interface defines primitives to send and receive network data, and to query and set configuration parameters and statistics. Remote NDIS leverages NDIS by defining a message wrapping for the NDIS miniport driver interface, thus moving the NDIS-handling code from a miniport driver into the device itself. In this and other ways, Remote NDIS allows for a wide range of device functionality and performance levels. The Remote NDIS model has many advantages:

  • Extensibility without change to the bus-specific message transport mechanisms

  • Ability to support more protocols over more buses in a short time

  • Driver architecture that has been proven for both networking and external bus device models

Value-added mechanisms that already exist in the NDIS network stack are supported for Remote NDIS devices.

Remote NDIS (RNDIS) eliminates the need for hardware vendors to write an NDIS miniport device driver for a network device attached to the USB bus. Remote NDIS accomplishes this by defining a bus-independent message set and a description of how this message set operates over the USB bus. Because this Remote NDIS interface is standardized, one set of host drivers can support any number of networking devices attached to the USB bus. This significantly reduces the development burden on device manufacturers, improves the overall stability of the system because no new drivers are required, and improves the end-user experience because there are no drivers to install to support a new USB bus-connected network device. Currently Microsoft Windows provides support for Remote NDIS over USB.

The following figure shows the replacement of the device manufacturer's NDIS miniport with the combination of a Remote NDIS miniport driver and a USB transport driver. The device manufacturer can therefore concentrate on device implementation and not have to develop a Windows NDIS device driver.

Microsoft provides an NDIS miniport driver, Rndismp.sys, which implements the Remote NDIS message set and communicates with generic bus transport drivers, which in turn communicate with the appropriate bus driver. This NDIS miniport driver is implemented and maintained by Microsoft and is distributed as part of Windows.

The following Remote NDIS message set mirrors the semantics of the NDIS miniport driver interface:

  • Initializing, resetting, and halting device operation

  • Transmitting and receiving networking data packets

  • Setting and querying device operational parameters

  • Indicating media link status and monitoring device status

Microsoft also provides a USB bus transport driver that implements a mechanism for carrying the Remote NDIS messages across the USB bus. This driver transports standardized Remote NDIS messages between the Remote NDIS miniport driver and the bus-specific driver, such as USB. The bus-specific drivers are also required to map any bus-specific requirements, such as power management, into standardized Remote NDIS messages. The transport driver for USB 1.1 and 2.0 is implemented and maintained by Microsoft and distributed as part of Windows.

This structure allows a single device driver to be used for any Remote NDIS device for which there is a bus-specific transport layer. In addition, only one bus transport layer is required for all network devices on a specific bus.
