Receives a datagram packet each time it is coded by the kernel user and called by generic data link control (GDLC).
The DLC Datagram Data Received routine receives a datagram packet each time it is coded by the kernel user and called by GDLC.
Each GDLC supports a subset of the data-received routines. It is critical to performance that the Datagram Data Received routine be coded to minimize the amount of time spent prior to returning to the GDLC that called it.
