SwsVpkt

The SwsVpkt Virtual Packet Driver provides an implementation of the packet driver specification enabling DOS networking applications to run on Windows XP, 2000 and NT4.

SwsVpkt also enables Win32 user mode programs to perform raw Ethernet frame I/O.

Requirements

  • An Intel Pentium compatible PC running Windows XP (Home, Professional or Server), Windows 2000 (Professional or Server) or Windows NT 4 (Service Pack 6).
  • 1 MB of free disk space.
  • A Windows supported TCP/IP network e.g. Ethernet LAN, ADSL, cable or dial-up line.

Win32 API for raw Ethernet I/O

Although primarily designed to support DOS packet driver applications, components of SwsVpkt can also be used by Win32 user mode programs to perform raw Ethernet frame I/O. This is useful to build packet sniffer applications or to send raw IP frames even under Windows XP service pack 2.
