What are the advantages of servicing device I/O requests with a clearly defined driver stack rather than a single device driver?

What will be an ideal response?


Device functionality is more modular; for example, the system can install a new filter
driver to provide some extra functionality to a device.Also, the system can install updates by
changing the implementation of one driver in the stack rather than affecting the entire stack.
Additionally, drivers can service more devices (e.g., a class driver can be part of a driver stack
for different devices that fall in its device class).
