You can improve, or optimize, the NDIS miniport driver so that it sends and receives network packets in a more efficient manner. This, in turn, can increase the rate of data transfer. To optimize your NDIS miniport driver, you must create a network performance test and correctly analyze the results. You can then make the necessary adjustments to improve the performance of your driver.
