Re: which kind of driver to design for AoE protocol?

Hi Maxim

After reading the MS doc "Getting Started with the Windows Driver
Development Environment", the first and most obvious question is "which kind
of driver should I build?"

Full storage port I think, with NDIS protocol lower egde.

As you said it yourself, there is no problem with sending TDI requests
at raised IRQL.
Why do you think the OP needs NDIS protocol driver then????? Is there
any other limitation (at least, theoretical one) of the existing
network stack that makes it unsuitable for the task? A "problem" with
IRQLs is the only thing that got into my head, but there may be some
other details I am just unaware of. Please let me know
