<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.
