I want to create a packet filtering and content scanning application to be run under windows XP sp2, windows 2003 server and Windows Vista.
Can this be done using WFP? Am a begininer so any suggesting would be of great help.

For Vista and above, WFP is perfect to be used for your purpose. But WFP is not available on XP or 2003 Server.

So I think I must proceed this way,
At the time of installation of my application I must check the OS
If its Vista I must install the module using WFP and
if its XP SP2 I must install the module using TDI and NDIS im drivers for packet filtering?
Is this the best soluting for my requirement?
Again, is it compulsory that I must use WFP under vista for windows logo complaince?

Hi,
We cannot speak for future releases of Windows in terms of logo requirements but as of Windows Vista WFP is not required for logo compliance.
We wouldn't recommend it but you do have the option of developing a common code base for XP, Server03, and Vista based only on legacy technologies such as TDI, LSP, and/or NDIS IM.
However, we recommend that you start migrating to WFP for your network filtering functions as it is slated to replace those legacy techologies over time.
Hope this helps,
Biao.W.
