Network Protocol?

I know this is the wrong group but I need a little pointing in a direction
please.

I need to write an implementation of a yet to be published protocol. It is
transported over the internet via IP. Can any one help me with ideas of how
to write such drivers in Windows? or if that's not doable should I develop
it in Linux? This is just for testing.

Thanks

One of the groups in news:comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.* would be the place
to ask about writing Windows drivers.

I have a very long shotgun, but when I put the barrel in my mouth I can't
reach the trigger. Should I attempt this under Windows or Linux? This is
just for testing.

Why the hell do you need a new wire-level protocol? Just stuff your data
into XML and mail it out on the HTTP protocol. I could write a server for
that in my sleep.

Let me inform you, that the ip layer is not a "wire-level-protocol". The
"wire-level" is layer 1 (physical layer)and maybe some parts of layer
2 . tcp/ip is arranged in layer 3 and 4 (Network and Transport layer).

Whoops; you're right. My mistake.

The OP should _definitely_ invent a new protocol at the network and
transport layer.

In a suitable newsgroup (e.g. comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.win32) ask
about the Winsock SPI (Service provider Interface).

Is it an application layer protocol ? A middleware ? A transport protocol ?

Because if you wanted to use TCP as a transport protocol you could take
advantage of the well known socket API that you can find in every Unix like
distribution...

Yes I should :).. you should stop asking questions and go back to those Alt

I said IP and I meant it, I was not joking like many people here seem to
think? I did'nt expect such a hostile responce for asking a question.

No I will not ask about sockets, AKA TCP/IP.
