  30         This header defines an API to interact with protocols in the kernel.
  31         The KPIs in this header file can be used to interact with protocols
  32         that already exist in the stack. These KPIs can be used to support
  33         existing protocols over media types that are not natively supported
  34         in the kernel, such as ATM.
