As of now, the Clearview project is an official OpenSolaris project:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/clearview/
Clearview is a project to rationalize, unify, and enhance the way
network interfaces are handled in Solaris at the programmatic and
administrative levels. While this sounds a bit opaque, the effects of
ensuring that all network interfaces have these attributes are
far-reaching and eminently practical. For example, as a result of
Clearview, customers will be able to:
* Observe all IP layer network traffic, including loopback, IPMP group
and IP tunnel traffic.
* Observe all IP layer network traffic flowing to and from a zone.
* Administrate all network interfaces using dladm(1M).
* Use VLANs and form link aggregations on all Ethernet devices.
* Use IPMP with technologies such as DHCP and routing protocols.
* Select names for network interfaces, easing migration of network
configuration information between systems or zones, and markedly
improving Dynamic Reconfiguration.
… and more.
For now, discussions and announcements related to the project will
remain on [email protected], but we may create a
project-specific list in the future if the need arises.
