Hello,
I'm willing to write a virtual network adapter, which won't be
connected to any real hardware, but will be "driven" by a running
application: packet sent to this adapter shall be read by this
application, and the app sometimes send packets to the adapter which
are to be dispatched on whoever read on the specified port.
The problem being, I'm new to driver developpement. Thus I have a
couple of questions:
1 - I've installed the latest windows DDK, is ti correct ? I've seen
another framework, but it seems to be vista only out of the box, right ?
2 - I'm looking at the "netvmini" sample provided by microsoft, since
it also create a virtual network adapter, again, am I correct ? I'm a
little lost between all teh different NDIS drivers types.
3 - What is the best way to make my driver and the running application
communicate ? Ioctl control, shared memory, ... ?
And what function in the driver should I look at on msdn for
receiving/sending packet ? (aka: where in the driver should I put my
logic for reading packets from the application, and sending the
received packet to the application).
Thanks for any answer
