The Microsoft Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) allows multiple network adapters and enables a single network adapter to support multiple protocols and also enables a single protocol to work with network adapters from different vendors. NDIS 6.0 provides a more optimized data transfer model for network devices. To take full advantage of the improved performance, IM MUX drivers must be ported to NDIS 6.0.
This paper provides information about porting NDIS 5.1 IM MUX drivers to NDIS 6.0 for the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. It includes a detailed review of coding issues. The result is improved performance and decreased code complexity.
This information applies for Windows Vista.
