Hi,

The DDK documents describes an NDIS IM driver as sitting in between the
miniport driver and higher-level protocol driver (i.e. TCP/IP). If there are
multiple IM driver installed on a system, what does the stack look like? Are
these IM driver sitting in parrell to each other or can they be "chained" to
each other? Is this determined by the INF file's "UpperRange" and
"LowerRange"?

Thanks,
Ning

Read the DDK topic "Filter Intermediate Driver Installation".

Chained.

This is determined by the IM's class - loadbalancer/failover etc.
