Frank,
why did you choose MDT over LSO? Did you need to run on Solaris releases
that doesn't support LSO but supports MDT?
Or did you benchmark MDT and LSO and found that MDT was more efficient?
There is a fair bit (understatement) of complexity on the MDT
implementation and that is why I'd like to understand the above.
Thanks,
Erik
