Windows Filtering Platform (WFP)

Windows Filtering Platform is a relativly new technology from Microsoft that was built to replace all existing technologies: Winsock LSP, TDI, NDIS.

First step would we TDI as Microsoft announced it will not be supported anymore on the next OS, but it seems that NDIS and LSP are supported.

I had a prospect ask me why I don’t WFP, well WFP the main reason not to use WFP for me is the lack of support for Windows XP (many of my clients also want to support Windows 2000), and until Windows XP will become obsolete, WFP will not gain momentum.
