TCP-RST - Effect on NDIS

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I have a query on TCP calling an active reset by setting the RST bit in the
Control bits. Does NDIS issue a Miniport reset on getting a packet with the
RST bit set in the Control bits field in the TCP header? What are the
possible reasons and chances that a Miniport reset can be called this way by
NDIS?

Thanks & Regards

NDIS reset is interface hardware reset - this has nothing to do with TCP
RST.
NDIS reset is issued when the card is suspected to be hung.
