TA_ADDRESS

typedef struct _TA_ADDRESS { 
    USHORT  AddressLength; 
    USHORT  AddressType; 
    UCHAR   Address[1]; 
} TA_ADDRESS, *PTA_ADDRESS;

TA_ADDRESS defines a single transport address of a specific type, for example, NetBIOS.

Members

AddressLength

Specifies the number of bytes in an address of the specified AddressType.

For example, each NetBIOS-type address is TDI_ADDRESS_LENGTH_NETBIOS bytes in length.

AddressType

Specifies the type of the transport address. The system defines symbolic constants for possible address types, some corresponding to Windows Sockets values and some extensions defined by TDI. Defined address types include the following:

TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_IP: Internetwork: UDP, TCP, etc.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_APPLETALK: AppleTalk address.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_NETBIOS: NetBIOS address.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_NETBIOS_EX: Extended NetBIOS address.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_IPX: Netware IPX.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_VNS: Banyan VINES IP address.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_8022: 802.2 netcard-level address; TDI only.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_NETONE: Net/One address. TDI only.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_NS: Xerox NS protocols.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_OSI_TSAP: OSI, TSAP address; TDI only.

The following are defined for future use:

TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_IMPLINK: Arpanet implink address.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_PUP: Pup protocols, such as BSP.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_CHAOS: MIT CHAOS protocols.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_NBS: NBS protocols.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_ECMA: European computer manufacturers association protocols.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_DATAKIT: Datakit protocols.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_CCITT: CCITT protocols.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_SNA: IBM SNA.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_DECnet: DECnet.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_DLI: Direct data-link interface (DLC).
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_LAT: LAT.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_HYLINK: NSC Hyperchannel.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_UNIX: Local to host, for pipes, portals, etc.
TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_UNSPEC: Unspecified type.

Address[1]

Specifies a variable-sized array containing the transport address. The structure of the contents depends on the specified AddressType.

Comments

A TRANSPORT_ADDRESS structure contains a specified number of elements of type TA_ADDRESS.

For certain TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_XXX values, transports and their kernel-mode clients can use system-defined substructures for Address and corresponding TDI_ADDRESS_LENGTH_XXX constants for AddressLength.

For convenience, TDI defines TA_ADDRESS_XXX structures that specify a single address of certain TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_XXX types.
