In Microsoft computer-systems, the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) comprises a set of system services and an application programming interface first introduced with Windows Vista in 2006/2007. It allows applications to tie into the packet processing and filtering pipeline of the Next Generation TCP/IP network stack. It provides features such as integrated communication, and administrators can configure it to invoke processing logic on a per-application basis. Microsoft intended WFP for use by firewalls and by other packet-processing or connection-monitoring components. == Components == The filtering platform includes the following components: * shims, which expose the internal structure of a packet as properties. Different shims exist for protocols at different layers. WFP comes with a set of shims; users can register shims for other protocols using the API. The in-built set of shims includes: * * Application Layer Enforcement (ALE) shim * * Transport Layer Module (TLM) shim * * Network Layer Module (NLM) shim * * RPC Runtime shim * * Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) shim * * Stream shim * filter engine, which spans both kernel-mode and user-mode, providing basic filtering capabilities. It matches the data within a packet - as exposed by the shims - against filtering rules, and either blocks or permits the packet. A ''callout'' may implement any other action as required. The filters operate on a per-application basis. * base filtering engine, the module that manages the filtering engine. It accepts filtering rules and enforces the security model of the application. It also maintains statistics for the WFP and logs its state. * callout, a callback function exposed by a filtering driver. The filtering drivers provide filtering capabilities other than the default block/allow. Administrators specify a callout function during registration of a filter rule. When the filter matches, the system invokes the callout, which handles a specified action. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Windows Filtering Platform」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
