Hi,
does somebody know how NDISWAN makes decisions which WAN link is best for
sent packet?
MSDN says: "In an NDIS WAN environment, NDISWAN examines the header of the
descriptor of a send packet and determines over which link the packet will be
sent", but I would like to know what item of packet descriptor header is
crucial.
