An idea that has been floated around in some discussion is to start with creating a seperate community dedicated to layer 2 networking. What is layer 2 networking for OpenSolaris? Well, let us consider what projects would fit into this category: - brussels - crossbow - clearbiew - ethernet bridging ... and potentially others as well.
For OpenSolaris, layer 2 networking is about: - the mac/dls interfaces underneath IP that device drivers use - link layer protocols (802.1X, LACP, LLDP) and the related management problems. Comments?
