WinSock
La Socket Windows, ou plus couramment appelé Winsock, est une API (Application Programming Interface) procurant des fonctions d’accès aux protocoles réseaux. Winsock représente donc une interface API permettant l’utilisation du protocole TCP/IP sur une interface Windows.
Windows Remote Shell (WinRS)
WinRS is a command-line tool included in both Windows Vista and the Full installation of Windows Server 2008, which relies on Windows Remote Management (WinRM) to execute remote commands, especially for headless servers. WinRM is Microsoft’s implementation of the WS-Management protocol, a standard Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)-based, firewall-friendly protocol that enables hardware and operating systems from different vendors to interoperate. You can think of WinRM as the server side and WinRS the client side of WS-Management.

Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL)
The Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is a framework
for providing authentication and data security services in
connection-oriented protocols via replaceable mechanisms. It
provides a structured interface between protocols and mechanisms.

Data Collector Sets (DCS)
A Data Collector Set is the building block of performance monitoring and reporting in Windows Performance Monitor. It organizes multiple data collection points into a single component that can be used to review or log performance. A Data Collector Set can be created and then recorded individually, grouped with other Data Collector Set and incorporated into logs, viewed in Performance Monitor, configured to generate alerts when thresholds are reached, or used by other non-Microsoft applications. It can be associated with rules of scheduling for data collection at specific times. Windows Management Interface (WMI) tasks can be configured to run upon the completion of Data Collector Set collection.
Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS)
Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) library abstracts the network hardware from network drivers. NDIS also specifies a standard interface between layered network drivers, thereby abstracting lower-level drivers that manage hardware from upper-level drivers, such as network transports. NDIS also maintains state information and parameters for network drivers, including pointers to functions, handles, and parameter blocks for linkage, and other system values.

Receive Side Scaling (RSS)
Receive Segment Coalescing (RSC)
RSC is a stateless offload technology that helps reduce CPU utilization for network processing on the receive side by offloading tasks from the CPU to an RSC-capable network adapter. CPU saturation due to networking-related processing can limit server scalability. This problem in turn reduces the transaction rate, raw throughput, and efficiency. RSC enables an RSC-capable network interface card to do the following:
Parse multiple TCP/IP packets and strip the headers from the packets while preserving the payload of each packet.
Join the combined payloads of the multiple packets into one packet.
Send the single packet, which contains the payload of multiple packets, to the network stack for subsequent delivery to applications.
TCP Chimney
The goal of TCP Chimney is to reduce CPU utilization and increase network throughput for long-lived TCP connections with bulk transfers and applications that pre-post buffers. Moving TCP processing tasks to hardware frees up the server’s CPU for other application tasks.
