In the STREAMS computer networking architecture, the Data Link Provider Interface is an interface that a network device driver implements. The interface abstracts away low level details of the hardware and networking protocols, and provides error free delivery of bits over a communications network.
It corresponds to the Data Link Layer of the 7 layer OSI model.
