NLB Filter Hooks Configuration

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Filter hooks help to direct traffic in a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster by filtering network packets. If the filter hooks are not properly configured, the NLB cluster will continue to converge and operate normally, however, the server application that is running with NLB will not be able to properly register the hooks.
