I'm not 100% sure of the relevance, but for the fun of it I put
these 2 into Google:
1) ["interface ip0"]
Allied Telesyn Residential Gateway ...
...
ip set interface ip0 dhcp enabled
Solaris Mobile IP: Design and Implementation
February, 1998
...
ip0 - an interface created when the Mobile IP code plumbs ...
2) [/dev/ip0]
Minix have routing incorporated into the inet code.
ip address 192.31.231.250 and netmask 255.255.255.0 on /dev/ip0
Installation Guide (Solaris)
PRIMECLUSTER(TM) Installation Guide (Solaris)
Cluster interconnect
Setting up CF over IP
... /dev/ip0 ...
There was some more that may be relevant to others.
None of them go back to 1996, but I'd say that rather they hint that
the test might hit again.
Another observation is that net-snmp-5.2.1 has no other referense to
"sunV3" then in some "#ifdef" - it doesn't show in e.g. ./configure.
So, I think we're safe keeping it with "#ifdef sunV3" only and later
on we probably should remove that piece of code entirely.
