TCP - IP White Papers

Windows Networking Reworked for Enterprises

Overview Windows Vista and "Longhorn" Server both include substantial changes to their networking components, including complete redesigns of the TCP/IP and Server Message Block (SMB) protocol stacks, which should improve the performance, security, and management of Windows networking. Although most of the networking changes occur deep within the OS, Windows Vista includes significant changes to the user interface in an attempt to make it easier for users to find and manage networked resources. Microsoft will also make a small subset of the changes, such as hardware acceleration, available for Windows Server 2003, but these features may require new high-end networking hardware.
