==Programming interfaces== Neither the OSI Reference Model, nor any [[OSI protocols|OSI protocol]] specifications, outline any programming interfaces, other than deliberately abstract service descriptions. Protocol specifications define a methodology for communication between peers, but the software interfaces are implementation-specific. For example, the [[Network Driver Interface Specification]] (NDIS) and [[Open Data-Link Interface]] (ODI) are interfaces between the media (layer 2) and the network protocol (layer 3).
