MORE INFORMATION

The "TCP/IP Implementation Details for Windows 2000 RC1" white paper describes Windows 2000 TCP/IP implementation details, and is a supplement to the Windows 2000 TCP/IP manuals.

This paper examines the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol suite from the bottom up. Throughout the paper, network traces illustrate key concepts. These traces are gathered and formatted using Network Monitor, a software-based protocol tracing and analysis tool included in Microsoft Systems Management Server. This paper is intended for network engineers and support professionals who are already familiar with TCP/IP.

From the Introduction section of the white paper:

Microsoft has adopted TCP/IP as the strategic enterprise network transport for its platforms. In the early 1990s, Microsoft started an ambitious project to create a TCP/IP stack and services that would greatly improve the scalability of Microsoft networking. With the release of the Microsoft Windows NT 3.5 operating system, Microsoft introduced a completely rewritten TCP/IP stack. This new stack was designed to incorporate many of the advances in performance and ease of administration that were developed over the past decade. The stack is a high-performance, portable 32-bit implementation of the industry-standard TCP/IP protocol. It has evolved with each version of Windows NT to include new features and services and to enhance performance and reliability.
