It controls the stack for TCP/IP. TCP/IP Stack processing. CNTRL.EXE is a very important component of the stack. CNTRL.EXE provides threads for proper running of the stack. It provides a thread for each of the following:

  • IP input processing
  • TCP slow timeout processing
  • Debug thread for IP
  • ARP timeout processing
  • Ifndis debug thread
  • Watchdog thread for the adapter status
  • Loopback IP packets processing

CNTRL.EXE is normally started from CONFIG.SYS with a RUN=statement. It should be the first program to begin executing when TCP/IP is started. CNTRL.EXE for Version 4 is different from that in the Version 2.0 stack
