Hi,
Hi Alex.
I recommend you read into the WFP (Windows Filter Platform) which will be part of Vista. It's included in the documentation that I've sent you this morning on IRC.
I started to read through that documentation this morning. The material you mentioned is only a presentation. I need to gather more detailed info on this.
Implementing a firewall in TDI is foolish not only because of its place in the stack, but also because of the WPP and Windows
Kernel Sockets which will replace TDI in Blackcomb. It would be a waste to
focus on a dying technology. NDIS has been done before, but here again, NDIS 6.0 would be recommended.
I didn't know about WFP and WSK until this morning. I agree TDI is bad, but had only read about IM drivers up until now.
Personally, I would go with the WFP design...it's a great chance to have
some
new technology. More information in the documentation I've send and also
here:
I've recently found CableGuys blog but haven't had much chance to start reading it. I've made a point to bookmark it and will start to go through it more often.
Ged.
