Remarks

The OID_GEN_RECEIVE_BLOCK_SIZE OID specifies the amount of storage, in bytes, that a single packet occupies in the receive buffer space of a NIC.

The same information can be obtained from the current and maximum lookahead size. However, one of these OIDs can be mandatory to verify each other. Also protocol drivers can determine if the underlying driver indicates full-packet receives by comparing the values that driver returns for the OID_GEN_CURRENT_LOOKAHEAD and OID_GEN_RECEIVE_BLOCK_SIZE OIDs.
