DLC FDDI Protocol Support

The data link control (DLC) fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) device manager supports the logical link control (LLC) protocol and state tables described in the Token-Ring Network Architecture Reference, which also contains the local area network (LAN) IEEE 802.2 LLC standard.

Both address-resolve services and name-discovery services are supported for establishing remote attachments. A direct network interface is also supported to allow users to transmit and receive unnumbered information packets through DLC FDDI without any protocol handling by the data link layer.
