Yep - this describes how to write your own network-card driver
which is QoS-enabled. Nevertheless there is no way that a tdi-
client-application can set QoS-parameters for UDP or TCP-
data.
Obviously one could write an NDIS-filter which can change, or
include those fields by inspecting every single packet which is
sent to the network-adapter. But I don't fill this is the way to
go... MS should specify the kernel-mode-side of the GQOS-
API or the Traffic-Control-API - that would be a really good
thing...
