The virtual interface is a dynamic-link library (DLL) file that contains routines that the MMR can call to send packets to the broadcast hardware. The MMR keeps a list of which packets go to which virtual interface. For example, you can use Mmradm.exe to setup the MMR to send all packets arriving through a certain tunnel to the VBI virtual interface. The virtual interface copies the packets to the VBI device and signals the MMR when it can accept more data. To read about how to write a virtual interface module, see Sample Virtual Interface DLL.
