Hi,
Is there a way of dynamically changing MTU of an adapter on the fly?
Any OID value that can be sent to NDIS(TDI/ anything else ) that can
achieve this ?
I am developing an application where this feature is required and
changing MTU through registry is well, not a valid solution. If need
be then we can implement any intermediate layer driver as well, if
that can achieve this objective
Thanks in advance.

Check Oidscope.exe utility and [url]http://www.pcausa.com[/url]
and check OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_FRAME_SIZE and OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_TOTAL_SIZE.

No. In NDIS 5.x, the MTU is statically defined when the
OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_FRAME_SIZE is queried on the miniport. For NDIS 6.x, the
miniport defines the MTU through its
NDIS_MINIPORT_ADAPTER_GENERAL_ATTRIBUTES data registered through
NdisMSetMiniportAttributes(). Once set, there is no way to dynamically
change it. Also, keep in mind that the set of the MTU occurs either shortly
after (NDIS 5.x) or during miniport initialization.
You will have to rely on setting this in the registry and then restarting
(i.e., disable/enable) the miniport. An IM driver won't help here.

I am confused in OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_FRAME_SIZE and registry setting of
mtu.
It seems that windows stack uses registry mtu size.
While writing the application, which value should I consider ?
GetIfEntry returns OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_FRAME_SIZE. Is there any api where
can I get registry mtu size for adpater?
What do you mean by MTU is statically defined when the
OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_FRAME_SIZE is queried?
Please tell me answer.

You said:
"I am confused in OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_FRAME_SIZE and registry setting of

The windows stack does not use the registry value. The point here is the
miniport reads the registry value for MTU during its MiniportInitialize
call, and then uses that when processing the query to
OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_FRAME_SIZE.
You said:
"While writing the application, which value should I consider ?
GetIfEntry returns OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_FRAME_SIZE. Is there any api where

Again, the registry setting is read by the miniport and returned in a query
of OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_FRAME_SIZE. You don't have to do anything else.
Just so I understand, under what conditions do you want to "dynamically"
change the MTU? Do you expect that there will be conditions where the MTU
may shrink from 1500 or exceed 1500 (e.g., jumbo frames)?
