Windows 2000 Networking Architecture

• Modular architecture enables the operating system
  to be updated quickly with new protocols or
  services
• Two main boundary layers serve as intermediaries
  within different components in the architectural
  model
• Transfer device interface (TDI)
• Network driver interface specification (NDIS)

16
Transport Device Interface

• Falls between upper-layer services and layer 3
  networking protocols
• Main function is to translate between protocols
  such as TCP/IP and upper-layer services such as
  redirectors and server services
• Keeps developers from having to rewrite each
  upper-layer service for each networking protocol

17
Network Driver Interface Specification

• Serves as an intermediary between the networking
  protocols and the Data Link layer drivers and
  network interface cards

18
New Features in NDIS Version 5.0

• Wake-on-LAN capabilities
• Media sense

19
Network Driver Interface Specification

• Capable of binding
• Process of associating or connecting a layer 3
  protocol with a specific network interface card
• Allows a single protocol to bind to multiple
  network interface cards or multiple protocols to
  bind to a single network interface card

20
Binding a Single Protocol to Multiple NICs
21
Binding Multiple Protocols to a Single NIC
22
Networking Protocols Overview

• Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
  (TCP/IP)
• Internetwork Packet eXchange/Sequenced Packet
  eXchange (IPX/SPX)
• NetBIOS Enhanced User Interface (NetBEUI)
• Data Link Control (DLC)
• Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)

23
Networking Services Overview

• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
• Domain Name System (DNS)
• Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
• Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS)
• Network Address Translation (NAT)
• Certificate services
