Meeting the GDLC Criteria

Edit online

A GDLC interface must meet certain criterias.

The criteria are as follows:

  • Be flexible and accessible to both application and kernel users.
  • Have multiple user and multiple adapter capability, allowing protocols to take advantage of multiple sessions and ports.
  • Support connection-oriented and connectionless DLC device managers.
  • For special requirements beyond the scope of the DLC device manager in use, must allow transparent data transfer.
