Sample Description
Bindview An application that demonstrates how to use INetCfg APIs to enumerate, install, uninstall, bind and unbind network components.
Fakemodem Demonstrates a simple controller-less modem driver.
Hyper-V Extensible Switch Extension Filter A base library used to implement a Hyper-V Extensible Switch extension filter driver.
NDIS 6.0 Filter The sample is a do-nothing pass-through NDIS 6 filter driver demonstrating the basic principles of an NDIS 6.0 Filter driver.
NDIS MUX Intermediate Driver and Notify Object An NDIS 6.0 driver that demonstrates the operation of an "N:1" MUX driver. The sample create multiple virtual network devices on top of a single lower adapter.
Connectionless NDIS 6.0 and 6.3 Protocol Driver This driver supports sending and receiving raw Ethernet frames using ReadFile/WriteFile calls from user-mode. As an NDIS protocol driver, it illustrates how to establish and tear down bindings to Ethernet adapters.
Connectionless NDIS 6.0 Protocol Driver This driver supports sending and receiving raw Ethernet frames using ReadFile/WriteFile calls from user-mode. As an NDIS protocol driver, it illustrates how to establish and tear down bindings to Ethernet adapters.
NDIS Virtual Miniport Driver Demonstrates the functionality of an NDIS miniport driver without requiring a physical network adapter.
