TCPIP_AOAC_NIC_ACTIVE_REFERENCE_LEAK

None

Diagnostic focus

This power-management assertion means the NIC active reference remained held after the send queue drained. Inspect connected-standby transitions, outstanding TCP/IP references, NDIS power callbacks, and the responsible miniport or filter. The key mismatch is reference accounting versus queue state, not ordinary packet loss.
