NDIS 6.3 - InstantGo Developer Notes

Network Device Interface Specification (NDIS) 6.3, included with Windows 8 and newer Microsoft Operating Systems implement new power management capabilities especially for devices such as tablets and 2 in 1 systems..

The following engineering notes (Stuart Lynne) addresses a particular feature known 
variously as:
  • InstantGo
  • AOAC (Always On / Always Connected)
  • Connected Standby
InstantGo capable devices (aka Windows on Tablets) are designed to minimize power consumption and extend battery life. If Windows determines that a connected device is not being actively used it will attempt to suspend it.
