Description

### Which is the area where the sample lives?

/network/ndis/

### Describe the issue

The MUX driver does not run well over time alongside a Hyper-V virtual switch .
Packet drop and stalling is appearing after a few hours.
Sugets changing NDIS version (at least 6.30) , and adding neccessary handling API calls for new version.

Research direction

Start in /network/ndis/mux and read HYPERV_MIGRATION.md for the reported Hyper-V interaction and migration guidance. Reproduce the MUX driver's long-running behavior with a Hyper-V virtual switch, then inspect the NDIS version and API handling involved. Done means the packet drops and stalls no longer appear during extended operation.
