b'TCP/IP is on the front lines in defending against network attacks, from intrusion attempts to denial-of-service. Achieving resilience depends on factors from NIC driver quality up through network application behavior. Windows Vista delivers resilience, security and extensibility with the NetIO stack-a re-architected and re-written TCP/IP stack. Windows Vista Network Architect Abolade Gbadegesin will provide an in-depth technical description of the new architecture and new features, and will provide an insider\\u2019s view of how Microsoft listened and responded to feedback from the security community. \\n\\t\\n\\tAbolade Gbadegesin is an Architect in the Windows Networking and Device Technologies Division, and is responsible for leading the redesign and implementation of the Windows networking stack for Windows Vista, incorporating native support for IPv6, IPSec and hardware offload capabilities. Abolade is a member of the Windows architecture group and the networking architecture team. When time permits, he works as a comic book artist, practices piano and breakdance and Argentine tango, and contributes performances at various spoken word events as a founding member of the Learned Hearts Brigade."'
