There are a couple commercial socket libraries available (see
http://www.osr.com for one). The kernel uses TDI which is documented in the
DDK, and a sample is present there. Another sample is TDIClient.zip
http://home.mindspring.com/~antognini/drivers/,
and there is a product with a bunch of samples from
http://www.pcausa.com/tdisamp/default.htm

You should check these two 3rd party libraries:
KSocks from www.osr.com
KernSock from www.storagecraft.com
We chose KernSock for our future product, as we required non blocking
sockets. It's also cheaper than KSocks and comes with source. It is static
library, unlike KSocks!
If you need to talk to an existing driver/app via sockets, I suggest
the above libraries over any other idea.

Regards, Dejan.

KernSock supports async IO on sockets and using MDL chains for IO linked
by ->Next field. It also async supports send/recv on DISPATCH_LEVEL.
