ABSTRACT:
A common data link interface providing a framework for device drivers and data link providers. This interface allows multiple frameworks to coexist and share a single device driver. The common data link interface is framework independant and provides functions that are common to a plurality of frameworks. The common data link interface comprises three components, a network device driver, network demultiplexers, and network services. The network device driver provides a simple interface to network based devices that can be used by both the sockets IFNET and the streams DLPI data link layers. The network demultiplexor provides common data link receive functionality. Network services provides the remaining additional functionality required to bind the common data link interface together.
