Data Link Provider Interface
(DLPI) The interface that a {network driver}
presents to the (higher level) {logical link layer} for
driving the network at the {datagram} level in a {Unix}
{STREAMS} environment and possibly elsewhere.
DLPI corresponds to {ISO 8802}/2 ({LLC}) which covers both
{connection-oriented} and {connectionless} {protocols}.
