WinPKFilter: Double packets handling

[ByTE]

When I receive packet from one adapter and redirect it to another adapter, after redirection this packet comes again via filter as outgoing to redirected adapter?
You understand me?
For example:

1. I read packet from adapter 1

2. I redirect packet to adapter 2 (SendPacketToAdapter) - original packet dropped.

3. I read packet queue from adapter 2

I receive redirected packet in step 3 or packet sended directly to adapter 2 and never appears in other queues?
In documentation no words about this.

I find in description of “SendPacketToAdapter” function this words:

INTERMEDIATE_BUFFER.m_Flags should be initialized by combination of NDIS_FLAGS_XXX

What flags I should set to not receive packets twice?
What flags I should set to receive packets twice?
Thank’s.

Any comments?
How I must use INTERMEDIATE_BUFFER.m_Flags with SendPacketToAdapter?
How this flags influence sending packets?

NDIS_FLAGS_DONT_LOOPBACK and NDIS_FLAGS_SKIP_LOOPBACK prevents the packet from being indicated back. However, these flags are OS/NDIS specific. You can see some details here http://www.ndis.com/papers/loopback.htm

Thank’s.
I try to read this.

I read this article, but i don’t have ddk.
Anybody can say me how NDIS_FLAGS_DONT_LOOPBACK defined in header file in ddk? I need mask (0x????????).

[Vadim Smirnov]

#define NDIS_FLAGS_DONT_LOOPBACK 0x00000080

Thank’s for reply.
This is really works!

But…

With NT 4 this flags does not works.
Can I set some flag to packet for detect this packet later, when this packet returns as loopback?
Maybe I can set any not used mask in INTERMEDIATE_BUFFER.m_Flags?

Any ideas?

Please reply me!

You can try using MSTCP_FLAG_LOOPBACK_BLOCK for the adapter you work over. It drops incoming packets if source MAC is the same as local MAC. Regretfully there is no way to prevent packet indication on NT4 at all.
