NDISUIO does not support packet replication of packets received for multiple applications. Hence, if you want simultaneous access to the adapter for a different application, the new application can perform only those operations that do not require packet replication.
Operations that require a read require IOCTL_NDISUIO_OPEN_DEVICE, but you can use IOCTL_NDISUIO_OPEN_WRITE_DEVICE to send packets.
The following table shows the operations that applications other than the initiating application can perform simultaneously.
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
Sends packets through bound miniport. |
|
Cancels device event notification. |
|
Returns NIC information. |
|
Retrieves NDIS object identifier values. |
|
Initiates device event notification. |
|
Sets NDIS object identifier values. |
