Developing Applications that
Run over SunFDDI/P
10
This chapter describes how to develop your own applications running over
SunFDDI/P networks. It assumes that you are an experienced programmer
who is already familiar with the DLPI Version 2 interface.
This chapter provides a brief overview of each of the programming
environments and concentrates on network addressing and other issues that
are specific to the SunFDDI/P implementation of these interfaces. It does not
provide a detailed specification of the interfaces.
DLPI is used to access the services of the SunFDDI/P link layer of the
SunFDDI/P device driver in a Solaris 2.5.1 Hardware: 4/97 environment
without the need for specialized knowledge of the underlying protocol. You
can obtain a copy of the STREAMS DLPI Specification from Sun Microsystems,
Inc. (part number 800-6915-10).
