Detailed Description

Contains the state of a running instance of the NPF driver.

This is the most important structure of NPF: it is used by almost all the functions of the driver. An _OPEN_INSTANCE structure is associated with every user-level session, allowing concurrent access to the driver.

NDIS_HANDLE AdapterHandle

PUCHAR bpfprogram
 

Pointer to the filtering pseudo-code associated with current instance of the driver. This code is used only in particular situations (for example when the packet received from the NIC driver is stored in two non-consecutive buffers. In normal situations the filtering routine created by the JIT compiler and pointed by the next field is used. See NPF driver internals manual for details on the filtering process.
