The Get Connected Wizard application programming interface (API) allows developers to create network, Internet and virtual private network (VPN) connections, determine whether Internet connectivity is present, and register wizard pages for capturing required user information for specific connection types. |
|
The Management Information Base (MIB) API provides a set of structures used to contain network and network management data for a number of technologies, including Remote Access Routing Services, Internet Protocol (IP) Helper, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). |
|
The Network Diagnostics Framework (NDF) provides a way for component and application developers to simplify network troubleshooting for users. Users can attempt to diagnose and repair a network problem using a single troubleshooting tool. |
|
The network management functions provide the ability to manage user accounts and network resources. |
|
Network Monitor captures network traffic for display and analysis. It enables you to perform tasks such as analyzing previously captured data in user-defined methods and extract data from defined protocol parsers. |
|
NetShell is a command line based tool that enables administrators to remotely administer and configure critical network services. |
|
The Microsoft Windows implementation of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to configure remote devices, monitor network performance, audit network usage, and detect network faults or inappropriate access. |

Applications designed for use by mobile users require a unique set of connectivity functions and notifications. In the past these individual applications were required to implement these features internally. The System Event Notification Service (SENS) now provides these capabilities in the operating system, creating a uniform connectivity and notification interface for applications. Using SENS developers can determine connection bandwidth and latency information from within their application and optimize the application's operation based on those conditions. |

The Windows networking (WNet) functions allow you to implement networking capabilities in your application without making allowances for a particular network provider or physical network implementation. |
