Understanding Microsoft’s Network Stack with Hyper-V

A review of the complex and layered architecture found in Windows Server and Windows client operating systems. A look at Windows 11 and Server with Hyper-V as a component of Microsoft’s fundamental network stack. Comparing the OSI 7-layer model we will explore elements found in the network stack from layer 2 “Data-Link Layer” to OSI layer 7. Microsoft’s network stack is functionally in kernel mode but APIs and user mode services are available to developers and users who need to modify the behavior of their network stack, an example your firewall. From network card drivers to Windows Filter Platform and IP support we will examine this complex topic. Much of this structure is also found in Azure.
