64 Bit Windows Socket APIs

Leave a reply

When you hear the term “64 bit Windows Socket APIs,” what is being referenced is just the 64 bit Winsock.  The longer phrase is merely a throwback to when programmers were still fighting the newer Winsock name.  Many refused to call Winsock anything but Windows Socket API – this actually caused a problem with online documentation for awhile until the majority of programmers realized that the issue really wasn’t worth it.  Here at Komodia, you can call 64 bit Windows Socket APIs anything you want – Komodia knows what you mean.

When someone wants to write a program that “hijacks” a windows socket he needs to know which technology to use, there are number of technologies, each with it’s advantages and disadvantages and the programmer needs to make the correct choice, otherwise he will find himself in a world of problems down the road.

In the Winsock LSP page we talk a bit on NDIS, TDI, WFP, and when the new web site design will be up we will also have a more detailed discussion on each technology.
