Suppose a new set of protocols were to replace TCP and IP as standard network protocols. How difficult would it be to incorporate support for these new protocols intoWindows XP?

What will be an ideal response?


The network driver architecture is modular, and therefore the only difficulty would be
in writing drivers for these new protocols. As long as these drivers conformed to the NDIS
interface (for the lower-layer drivers) or interfaced correctly with TDI clients (for the transport
layer), the new drivers could be swapped into the system easily.
