The '''Open Data-Link Interface''' ('''ODI''') is an [[application programming interface]] (API) for [[network interface controller]]s (NICs) developed by [[Apple Computer|Apple]] and [[Novell]]. The API serves the same function as Microsoft and 3COM's [[Network Driver Interface Specification]] (NDIS).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-05-17 |title=What is ODI(Open Data link Interface)? |url=https://dd.geeksforgeeks.org/what-is-odiopen-data-link-interface/ |access-date=2023-04-12 |website=GeeksforGeeks |language=en-us }}{{Dead link|date=August 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Originally, ODI was written for [[NetWare]] and [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]] environments. Like NDIS, ODI provides rules that establish a vendor-neutral interface between the protocol stack and the adapter driver. It resides in Layer 2, the Data Link layer, of the [[OSI model]]. This interface also enables one or more network drivers to support one or more [[protocol stack]]s.
