Hi All,
I tried this question over in the networks area, but no responses... hah.
Anyhow, I'm going through the Network Time Protocol source code and I see that when a NTP packet gets sent out, a call to a WinSock2 library function is made. From what I can tell, it's the very last function call made for the send procedure. I never worked with WinSock much before... I was wondering.... Is it the WinSock API that interfaces with the driver on the NIC? If not, what does interact with the NIC (i.e., hands the NIC exactly what is supposed to be sent out)?
Thanks for your help!
