G'Day,
ip:::send and ip:::receive probes have been putback to Solaris Nevada.
Documentation is here:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/DTrace/ip+Provider
This is the first step of many, as outlined in the proposed plan:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/NetworkProvider/#Plan
In Summary:
1. IP Provider (send/receive)
2. TCP Provider
3. UDP Provider
4. IP Provider (drop-in/drop-out)
5. IP Provider (request/deliver)
6. IP packet ids
7. Socket Provider
8. ICMP Provider
9. ARP Provider
10. SCTP Provider
11. GLD Provider
12. TCP/UDP connection ids
I would love to say that we just putback the entire network provider
collection (all 12 parts) but we've only just putback step 1; it was a
difficult step to complete, not just due to complexities with the IP
codepath, but as it also commits to a style which the other network
providers will follow.
To see what these new probes can do, check out the wiki page.
I'll post about the next steps soon: TCP and UDP providers.
