PROTOCOL_INFO
The PROTOCOL_INFO structure contains information about a protocol.
typedef struct _PROTOCOL_INFO {
DWORD dwServiceFlags;
INT iAddressFamily;
INT iMaxSockAddr;
INT iMinSockAddr;
INT iSocketType;
INT iProtocol;
DWORD dwMessageSize;
LPTSTR lpProtocol;
} PROTOCOL_INFO;
Members
dwServiceFlags
A set of bit flags that specify the services provided by the protocol. One or
more of the following bit flags may be set:
Value
| Meaning
| XP_CONNECTIONLESS
| If this flag is set, the protocol providesconnectionless (datagram) service.
If this flag is clear, the protocol provides connection-oriented data transfer.
| XP_GUARANTEED_DELIVERY
| If this flag is set, the protocol guarantees that all data sent will reach the
intended destination. If this flag is clear, there is no such guarantee.
| XP_GUARANTEED_ORDER
| If this flag is set, the protocol guarantees that data will arrive in the
order in which it was sent. Note that this characteristic does not guarantee
delivery of the data, but guarantees only its order. If this flag is clear, the order
of data sent is not guaranteed.
| XP_MESSAGE_ORIENTED
| If this flag is set, the protocol is message-oriented. A message-oriented
protocol honors message boundaries. If this flag is clear, the protocol is
stream-oriented, and the concept of message boundaries is irrelevant.
| XP_PSEUDO_STREAM
| If this flag is set, the protocol is a message-oriented protocol that ignores
message boundaries for all receive operations.
This optional capability is useful when you do not want the protocol to frame
messages. An application that requires stream-oriented characteristics can open
a socket with type SOCK_STREAM for transport protocols that support this
functionality, regardless of the value of iSocketType.
| XP_GRACEFUL_CLOSE
| If this flag is set, the protocol supports two-phase close operations, also
known as "graceful" close operations. If this flag is clear, the protocol
supports only abortive close operations.
| XP_EXPEDITED_DATA
| If this flag is set, the protocol supports expedited data, also known as
"urgent data."
| XP_CONNECT_DATA
| If this flag is set, the protocol supports connect data.
| XP_DISCONNECT_DATA
| If this flag is set, the protocol supports disconnect data.
| XP_SUPPORTS_BROADCAST
| If this flag is set, the protocol supports a broadcast mechanism.
| XP_SUPPORTS_MULTICAST
| If this flag is set, the protocol supports a multicast mechanism.
| XP_BANDWIDTH_ALLOCATION
| If this flag is set, the protocol supports a mechanism for allocating a
guaranteed bandwidth to an application.
| XP_FRAGMENTATION
| If this flag isset, the protocol supports message fragmentation; physical
network MTU is hidden from applications.
| XP_ENCRYPTS
| If this flag is set, the protocol supports data encryption.
|
iAddressFamily
Specifies the value to pass as the af parameter when you call the socket function to open a socket for the protocol. This address family value
uniquely defines the structure of Protocol addresses, also known as SOCKADDRs, used by
the protocol.
iMaxSockAddr
Specifies the maximum length of a socket address supported by the protocol.
iMinSockAddr
Specifies the minimum length of a socket address supported by the protocol.
iSocketType
Specifies the value to pass as the type parameter when you call the socket function to open a socket for the protocol.
Note that if XP_PSEUDO_STREAM is set in dwServiceFlags, the application can specify SOCK_STREAM as the type parameter to socket, regardless of the value of iSocketType.
iProtocol
Specifies the value to pass as the protocol parameter when you call the socket function to open a socket for the protocol.
dwMessageSize
Specifies the maximum message size supported by the protocol. This is the
maximum size of a message that can be sent from or received by the host. For
protocols that do not support message framing, the actual maximum size of a message
that can be sent to a given address may be less than this value.
The following special message size values are defined:
Value
| Meaning
| 0
| The protocol is stream-oriented; the concept of message size is not relevant.
| 0xFFFFFFFF
| The protocol is message-oriented, but there is no maximum message size.
|
lpProtocol
Points to a zero-terminated string that supplies a name for the protocol; for
example, "SPX2."

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
