I couldnt exactly figure out your requirement, probably
due to some slight mismatch between the figure and explanation.
For eg LANE doesnt fit above Ethernet driver. Anyhow, if you are
looking for a module using which you can trace the packet flow
etc, the foll info may be useful to you.

For WinSock, you have WinSock Component Architecture (WCA) and
WinSock Redirector which can give many facilities that you are
looking for. You may visit

Hope this helps.
