The network architecture covers many components, interfaces, and protocols; Figure 1 illustrates some of them. The sections below discuss tuning guidelines for some of the components for server workloads.
F igure 1 Network Stack Components
The network architecture is layered, and the layers can be broadly divided into:
-
The network driver and NDIS. These are the lowest layers. NDIS exposes interfaces for the driver below it and for the layers above it; for example, TCP/IP.
-
The protocol stack. This implements protocols such as TCP/IP and UDP/IP. These layers expose the TDI interface for layers above them.
-
System Drivers. These are typically TDI clients and expose interfaces to user-mode applications. The WinSock interface is exposed by Afd.sys.
-
User-mode applications.
Tuning for network-intensive workloads can involve tuning for each of the layers. Some of the tunings are described below.
