Network Driver Interface Specification. A software component that provides Windows 2000 network protocols a common interface for communications with network adapters. NDIS allows more than one transport protocol to be bound and operate simultaneously over a single network adapter card.
See network driver interface specification (NDIS).
network driver interface specification. A Microsoft/3COM specification for the interface for local area network device drivers. All network adapter and protocol drivers shipped with LAN Manager conform to the NDIS. The IPX.COM generated by NetWare Connectivity also conforms to the NDIS.
Network Driver Interface Specification. Defines the network driver architecture and interfaces that let a PC support network NICs. This architecture provides a standardized way to write drivers for network NICs.
network driver interface specification. An interface in Windows NT for network card drivers that provides transport independence, because all transport drivers call the NDIS interface to access network cards.
network driver interface specification. The specification for the interface between device drivers and a network. All transports call the NDIS interface to access and work with network interface cards.
Network Device Interface Specification. The interface for network drivers used in Windows and Windows NT operating systems. All transport drivers call the NDIS interface to access network adapters.
This spec was designed by Microsoft to allow multiple protocols to easily communicate with Network Interface Cards (NICs) without knowing anything about...
Network Driver Interface Specification. A specification developed jointly by Microsoft Corporation and 3Com to provide a common programming interface for Media Access Control (MAC) drivers and transport drivers.
Network Driver Interface Specification -- provides a programming interface for different protocols sharing hardware.
Network Driver Interface Specification. Protocol and MAC 1-level interface standard (developed by 3Com and Microsoft) for connecting network operating systems to various LAN interfaces. Supports multiple protocol stacks concurrently. Opened up the OS/2 LAN Server to other vendors’ adapters, and is supported by IBM in OS/2 Communications Manager. NDIS has been through several revisions over the years and the current version is supported in the latest Windows operating system(s). See also ODI.
Network Driver Interface Specification is an application programming interface (API) for Network Interface Cards (NICs).
A de facto standard interface specification developed by Microsoft to separate communications protocols from PC networking hardware. The driver can also run multiple stacks concurrently.
Network Device Interface Specification. The NDIS specification is used for all communication with network adapters. The specification was developed by Microsoft and 3Com to provide a common programming interface for MAC drivers and transport drivers. NDIS works primarily with LAN manager and allows multiple protocol stacks to share a single network interface card.
Network Driver Interface Specification: Refer to 3COM/Microsoft, LAN Manager: Network Driver Interface Specification, October 8, 1990.
(Network Driver Interface Specification). A software specification used in some network operating systems (such as LAN Manager and Windows NT) to create drivers for network adapters. NDIS drivers support multiple protocols and multiple adapters. Also see Driver NOS Protocol
Network Driver Interface Specification. Microsoft’s version of the software interface between the transport protocol and the data link protocol, which allows multiple protocol stacks to run over one network adapter.
Abbreviation for Network Driver Interface Specification.
An acronym for Microsoft’s Network Driver Interface Specification for writing device drivers for network interface cards (NICs) that work with Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and Windows NT.
network drive interface specification
Stands for Network Device Interface Specification, a software-interface specification developed by Microsoft and 3Com that mediates between network adapters and higher-level protocols to enable the adapter to support multiple protocol stacks.
A standard interface specification for PC network adapter cards developed by Microsoft to separate the communications protocol from the PC networking hardware. The driver is able to run multiple protocol stacks concurrently.
This is an abbreviation for the Microsoft etwork river nterface pecification. If a software product is NDIS compatible it will work with NT/2000 and most of the leading NIC's in the industry.
(Network Driver Interface Specification) - Developed by Microsoft to provide a common set of rules for network adapters to interface with operating systems.
Network Driver Interface Specification - The interface for network drivers used in Windows and Windows NT. NDIS provides transport independence for network vendors because all transport drivers call the NDIS interface to access the network.
Network device interface specification or network driver interface specification. A device driver specification developed by Microsoft and 3Com that is independent of the NIC hardware and the network protocol.
A device driver specification codeveloped by Microsoft and 3Com. Besides providing hard-ware and protocol independence for network drivers, NDIS supports both DOS and OS/ 2, and it offers protocol mu ... more
Network Device Interface Specification. For Ethernet adapter/NETBIOS liaison.
network driver interface specification. Specification for a generic, hardware- and protocol-independent device driver for NICs. Produced by Microsoft.
Network Driver Interface Specification. A Microsoft specification for a type of device driver that allows multiple transport protocols to run on one network card simultaneously.
