Was Re-Writing the TCP/IP Stack In Vista a Good Idea?

March 5th, 2009

The TCP/IP stack in Microsoft Vista was completely rewritten with the new OS.  With that rebuild came some more support for use with evolving technologies like IPv6 and additional features to future proof it as much as possible.  Well it appears that they have some more work to do to.  Take a look at this informative piece from a Dr Plokta who has a strange load balancing issue with Vista clients due to Microsoft’s interpretation of RFC3484 aka Default Address Selection for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).  Check out his interesting blog post at Imminent Death of the Net Predicted.
