Understading priority and threading model in io-pkt   
After specifying elevated interface-specific priorities at the driver command-line options when the driver is done 
servicing the hardware at this elevated priority (on a receive event), and the thread becomes the TCP stack thread, does
 the TCP stack operation continue at the same priority as the driver?

For native drivers yes, if there's still work to do, otherwise it
blocks in MsgReceive().

Re: Understading priority and threading model in io-pkt   
An additional question,

Are there any stack operations or networking events that can bypass invocation of a filter or once a filter is in place 
it always gets a chance to intercept data?

We're talking about pfil hooks?  It depends on where you
hook up.  If you're at the ip layer for example and it's
not a ip packet or it is an ip packet but it gets
fast-forwarded out you won't see it.

Is there a way to control the priority of the stack threads? Is the default prio 21?
