Chapter 1 Introduction to DLPI HP DLPI Features HP DLPI Features Hewlett-Packard's implementation of the Data Link Provider Interface, HP DLPI, conforms to the DLPI Version 2.0 Specification as a Style 2 provider. HP DLPI offers data link service users: • Clone (maximum 3992) and non-clone (maximum 100) access. • Support for Ethernet/IEEE802.3, FDDI, and Token Ring. • Support for connectionless and connection-mode services (connection-mode services are supported over FDDI). • Support for raw-mode services. For details on raw mode, see the DL_BIND_REQ, DL_HP_RAWDATA_REQ and DL_HP_RAWDATA_IND primitives. Raw mode is supported on Ethernet/802.3, FDDI, and Token Ring. • Style 2. • I_STR ioctl is supported for doing device-specific control/diagnostic requests. • For support of third-party devices, refer to the third-party user manuals.
