Hello all,
I've been working on adding a flag to the dladm create-simnet. While
completing that work, it's been noted that the simnet functionality
isn't really documented anywhere you'd expect to find it. I've found
simnets useful on a few occasions and think more people might as well,
if it were more easily discoverable.
I'm not familiar with any background that may explain the omission,
perhaps a desire to not make an ongoing commitment to the feature, or a
feeling that it's only useful to a very niche audience? There are few
references to simnet outside the code that implements them, the most
definitive being the feature proposal:
https://www.mail-archive.com/opensolaris-arc@mail.opensolaris.org/msg09920.html
Is there a particular reason the feature is well hidden, and would there
be opposition to adding information to the dladm man page and command
help text? I am willing to do the legwork to get the information added.
For reference, the ticket I created may be found at:

Best,
