Data Link Provider Interface
<networking> (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.
