I have done some superficial reading on netcf - and I notice several comments 
on bridiging. Found out what it is and I do not expect it on AIX. There is a 
specialized partition (VIOS) that provides that function (so-called Shared 
Ethernet Adapter aka SEA) by bridging the virtual LAN(s) with a physical port 
or ether-channel (pseudo) port.

What I have not noticed yet, common in AIX - is what is called an NIB - or 
Network Interface Backup. This is an additional feature of the AIX 
ether-channel pseudo device.

VLAN does exist in AIX, just done differently.

All in all, I expect most aspects to map well.

So, two questions: 
a) does netcf have a description for (automated) network interface backup (yes 
or no are fine answers);
b) could someone give a short listing of the interface definitions netcf has 
implemented? I will read the documentation, but a bulleted list of topics helps 
me get to the important items first.

Thanks!
