Introduction to DLPI

The Data Link Layer

DLPI supports the ability to associate several streams with a single DLSAP, where each stream may be a unique data link connection endpoint. However, not all DLS providers can support such configurations because some DLS providers may have no mechanism beyond the DLSAP address for distinguishing multiple connections. In such cases, the provider will restrict the DLS user to one stream per

DLSAP.
