In reviewing the docs, this looks like a reasonable interface for most common usage of just simple datagram support. This might be noted in the dlpi_open() man page
It would be useful to have some documentation on how to do an unsupported DLPI primitive while using this API for most things. The design doc says that the goal was to make this possible, but the man pages imply that it may not be. For example, how would an application use the API for data transfer but also enable notifications in order to detect if the media link went away? That seems like a reasonable operation to want to do. Also, have any of the open source applications that use DLPI been examined to get an idea of what might be needed beyond what we use inside of Sun?
