Abolade Gbadegesin , Microsoft

This session covers the functionality of the NetIO stack for Windows Vista and Windows Server Code-Name Longhorn, with a focus on its implications for network infrastructure and network operations. Case studies are presented to illustrate the opportunities and challenges associated with deploying significant new networking functionality, both in a broadly available consumer operating system and in a high volume server operating system. The session closes with some thoughts on
improving the evolution of networking functionality through collaboration between software vendors and public network operators.
