LLA to DLPI Migration
As part of Hewlett-Packard’s movement toward industry standard
networking, HP has discontinued the LLA/9000 product with the HP-UX
10.30 release. HP recommends that you migrate all existing applications
that use LLA to the industry standard Data Link Provider Interface
(DLPI). HP provides DLPI with the LAN/9000 product.
Before you begin the process of migrating your application, you may need
to review the DLPI Programmer’s Guide.
The following information explains the basic differences between LLA
and DLPI. This information is the basis for performing migration.
