How does Winsock LSP communication travel through the various interfaces? How is this communication routed within the application? Here is a brief explanation:
Layered Service Provider is the long way of just saying LSP. A Winsock LSP can be used for several different reasons. The technology is far from simple, but it may seem that way to a casual observer.
When communication is sent through a Winsock API, it passes through several gates and/or interfaces before it can reach the kernel. The gates/layers are where code is inserted for the ability to monitor, reroute and/or change the original communication.Â
