That's right, the clearview IP Tunneling component which has not yet integrated allows you full DLPI access to a tunnel link. The IP Observability component only allows you to snoop at the IP layer. > I guess the Vanity Naming wasn't included either, because OpenSolaris > 104 didn't accept any name for a tunnel, only "ip.tunX" with ifconfig, > and. we were not able to create tunnels with "dladm", but had to use > ifconfig,. That's probably natural if the tunnel framework wasn't included > in 104? Vanity naming was integrated into ON back in build eighty-something, but because IP tunnels in ON are not GLDv3 links, vanity naming doesn't apply. The IP Tunneling component of Clearview will make these GLDv3 links, and thus allow the vanity naming feature to work with IP tunnels. -Seb
