     llc2 - DLPI multiplexor-driver

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     llc2 is the Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI) (dlpi(7)) STREAMS
     multiplexor-driver	which provides the logical link	control	(LLC) for
     Local Area	Networks (LAN) (e.g. Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI) as specified
     in	IEEE 802.2.

     The multiplexor supports all LLC type 1 and type 2	procedures.

     /dev/llc2 is the interface	to the upper multiplexor of DLPI.  It provides
     a mechanism for the Data Link Service (DLS) user to access	different LAN
     media (DLS	providers). Examples of	the DLS	user are X.25, OSI, and	SNA.

     The driver	does not have any accessible user-level	interface.
