MiniportReturnPacket Doubt

hello,

I have a doubt about the way NDIS returns packets to Miniport(MiniportReturnPacketHandler).

Miniport indicates a packetarray using NdisMIndicateReceive with packet status STATUS_SUCCESS. Does every packet indicated is returned to MiniportReturnPacketHandler in the same sequence?
for e.g. say Packets P1-P100 and P101- P200 are indicated using two differnt callls to NdisMIndicateReceive. Will MiniportReturnPacketHandler get called for each packet in P1-P100 first and then for each packet in P101-P200 in sequence?

Thanks in advance,
Pradeep

You cannot rely on any ordering in returned packets. Generally, the
upper protocol driver might hold on the packets as long as it needs.
