[comp.dcom.lans] TLI, NLI, DLI - Request for information

paulb@mlacus.oz (Paul Bandler) (08/30/90)

Can anyone please provide me with information regarding the status of the
following API's?

TLI - Transport Layer Interface.
NLI - Network Layer Interface
DLI - Datalink Interface

I believe they were defined by AT&T for Unix environments and perhaps proposed 
in industry standard forums (UI?).  However I would like to know (particularly 
for NLI and DLI):

What is there acceptance status?
Where are the specs available from?
What implementations are available?
Are they applicable to non-Unix environments?

Please email info as postings take a long time to filter down here.  I'll 
summarize if there is sufficient interest.


Thanks in anticipation,
