9. Medium-dependent interface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-dependent_interface

   A medium-dependent interface (MDI) describes the interface (both physical and electrical/optical) in a computer network from a physical-layer implementation to the physical medium used to carry the transmission. Ethernet over twisted pair also defines a medium-dependent interface – crossover (MDI-X) interface.
