Windows Sockets 2 Features
The new Windows Sockets 2 extends functionality in a number of areas.
Windows Sockets 2 Features
Access to protocols other than TCP/IP
| Windows Sockets 2 allows an application to use the familiar socket interface
to achieve simultaneous access to a number of installed transport protocols.
| Overlapped I/O with scatter/gather
| Windows Sockets 2 incorporates the overlapped paradigm for socket I/O and
incorporates scatter/gather capabilities as well, following the model established
in Win32 environments.
| Protocol-independent name resolution facilities:
| Windows Sockets 2 includes a standardized set of functions for querying and
working with the myriad of name resolution domains that exist today (for example
DNS, SAP, and X.500).
| Protocol-independent multicast and multipoint:
| Windows Sockets 2 applications discover what type of multipoint or multicast
capabilities a transport provides and use these facilities in a generic manner.
| Quality of service
| Window Sockets 2 establishes conventions applications use to negotiate
required service levels for parameters such as bandwidth and latency. Other
QOS-related enhancements include socket grouping and prioritization, and mechanisms for
network-specific QOS extensions.
| Other frequently requested extensions
| Windows Sockets 2 incorporates shared sockets and conditional acceptance;
exchange of user data at connection setup/teardown time; and protocol-specific
extension mechanisms.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
