首先来介绍一下AFD驱动。大家可能对NDIS及TDI了解的比较多，AFD驱动相对会少一些。NDIS及TDI是微软提供的内核网络驱动模型中的编程接口规范，而AFD驱动是微软Windows操作一个驱动部件。它是上层SOCKET在内核心中的实现。我这里画了一个图例来说明它们之间的关系：
简来说AFD驱动向上与SOCKET应用接口约定了接口来实现SOCKET，AFD驱动实际上是一个TDI客户端，它通过TDI接口调用微软件的另一个网络部件TCPIP驱动来完成功能。AFD并没有官方的资料说明它的接口，但是在网上还是可以找到很关于AFD驱动的资料的。这里笔者参考了ReactOS-0.3.4-REL-src源代码中的AFD的内容，它于官方的AFD驱动实现还是有一些驱动别的，比如未实现FASTIO接口等。
在AFD中它主要处理如下IO控制码，上层的应用也主要是通过它们来完成SOCKET各种操作。

可以通过名称看出这些IO控制码，对应了我们常用的SOCKET API。而我们要关注仅仅是的其中的一部分，下面就对我们完成流量控制要关注的IO控制码做一下简单介绍。在这些IO控制码中和发送和接收相关的有四个，它会分别是IOCTL_AFD_SEND、IOCTL_AFD_SEND_DATAGRAM、IOCTL_AFD_RECV、IOCTL_AFD_RECV_DATAGRAM。它们分别用于发送带链接的数据、发送非面向链接的数据包、接收面向链接的数据包、接收非面向链接的数据包。这四个IO控制码进行数据发送和接收时还涉及一些数据结构。这些在后面介绍流量控制时会用到。先在这里说明一下。
typedef struct _AFD_MAPBUF {
PVOID BufferAddress;
PMDL Mdl;
} AFD_MAPBUF, *PAFD_MAPBUF;
typedef struct _AFD_WSABUF {
UINT len;
PCHAR buf;
} AFD_WSABUF, *PAFD_WSABUF;
typedef struct _AFD_RECV_INFO {
PAFD_WSABUF BufferArray;
ULONG BufferCount;
ULONG AfdFlags;
ULONG TdiFlags;
} AFD_RECV_INFO , *PAFD_RECV_INFO ;
typedef struct _AFD_RECV_INFO_UDP {
PAFD_WSABUF BufferArray;
ULONG BufferCount;
ULONG AfdFlags;
ULONG TdiFlags;
PVOID Address;
PINT AddressLength;
} AFD_RECV_INFO_UDP, *PAFD_RECV_INFO_UDP;
typedef struct _AFD_SEND_INFO {
PAFD_WSABUF BufferArray;
ULONG BufferCount;
ULONG AfdFlags;
ULONG TdiFlags;
} AFD_SEND_INFO , *PAFD_SEND_INFO ;
typedef struct _AFD_SEND_INFO_UDP {
PAFD_WSABUF BufferArray;
ULONG BufferCount;
ULONG AfdFlags;
ULONG Padding[9];
ULONG SizeOfRemoteAddress;
PVOID RemoteAddress;
} AFD_SEND_INFO_UDP, *PAFD_SEND_INFO_UDP;
其中IOCTL_AFD_SEND，IOCTL_AFD_RECV对应用结构为AFD_SEND_INFO和AFD_RECV_INFO，了解这两个结构我们仅仅是为了知道某次发送或接收的数据长度是多少。这两个结构中都有两个相同的域BufferArray和BufferCount，它们标识了发送或接收的缓冲区信息。AFD_WSABUF结构中len成员标识了一个缓冲区的长度，只要把某次发送或接收操作的BufferCount个缓冲区的长度累加就是本次发送和接收操作数据的总长度。
其中IOCTL_AFD_SEND_DATAGRAM，IOCTL_AFD_RECV_DATAGRAM对应用结构为AFD_SEND_INFO_UDP和AFD_RECV_INFO_UDP。这两个结构中也是都有两个相同的域BufferArray和BufferCount，它们标识了发送或接收的缓冲区信息。AFD_WSABUF结构中len成员标识了一个缓冲区的长度，只要把某次发送或接收操作的BufferCount个缓冲区的长度累加就是本次发送和接收操作数据的总长度。这和IOCTL_AFD_SEND，IOCTL_AFD_RECV对的结构一样的情况。
