Abstract
To improve upon existing Winsock implementations, the claimed system and method adapts an existing Winsock system to use out-of-process NSP services. The claimed method and system provides asynchronous Winsock Next calls to provide client application processing flexibility. Further, the claimed method and system provides additional structures for passing additional NSP specific information for a result set to enable further client functionality. One embodiment of the claimed system provides additional client Winsock API functions to aggregate and manage asynchronous calls to multiple NSPs and/or multiple namespaces.
