1031.0. "Any info on an OpenVMS fast FDDI API called FFI?" by TRCOA::BBUTLER (White Rabbit) Mon Jul 19 1993 11:06

	Hi,

	I have a question about an API network interface which I
	heard was a very fast API for programming traffic from
	an OpenVMS host over FDDI.   Does anyone have any
	information an API called FFI.

	A customer is about to test some QIO code on FDDI and
	I would like to be ready with documentation on any
	better, faster APIs for FDDI host adapters (VAX 7610
	VAX 6610s).

	Thanks,

	b.b.

	I don't know how much longer the FFI interface is going to be around so don't hold your breath on documentation. If your customer needs a fast API into the datalink layer, they should consider using the new datalink interface called VCI. I believe that this interface is going to be officially documented for external use (FFI was never officially documented or supported outside of Digital internal software). Mike
