That answers my question regarding using dtrace to analyse performance bottlenecks in networking.

At this point,Sun engineers who work in Solaris kernel are customers who would want to use DTrace Network Provider to track the above code paths ( to do analyse performance bottlenecks and latencies) There will be Solaris kernel developers OpenSolaris community in future who would need the same.

Anyway, I am done trying to justify whether the feature I requested is important or not, and how may customers want it. You seem to have some quite strong opinions about what Soalris networking engineers need.

Thanks
