I presume that down-vnic (like down-aggr) would not be documented and thus is intended for internal development use? As an aside, I think the current UV bits no longer have a down-aggr (since it was unused), but I think it could be added back. CC'ing clearview-discuss so that Cathy can comment. -- meem
