The '''Open Data-Link Interface''' ('''ODI'''), developed by [[Apple Computer|Apple]] and [[Nove1lNovell]], 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}}</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.
