Comparing Basic Functionality Between IIS 6.0 and Earlier IIS Versions

Overview of IIS 6.0 Architecture (IIS 6.0) IIS 6.0 provides a redesigned World Wide Web Publishing Service (WWW service) architecture that can help you achieve better performance, reliability, scalability, and security for your Web sites, whether they run on a single server running IIS or on multiple servers. IIS 6.0 runs a server in one of two distinct request processing models, called application isolation modes.  Application isolation  is the separation of applications by process boundaries that prevents one application or Web site from affecting another and reduces the time that you spend restarting services to correct problems related to applications. In IIS 6.0, application isolation is configured differently for each of the two IIS application isolation modes. Both modes rely on the HTTP protocol stack  (also referred to as  HTTP . sys ) to receive Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests from the Internet and return responses. HTTP.sys resid...
