This is getting into the realm of philosophy, but the rationale was not so much to have ipadm, ipxadm etc. sitting atop dladm, but rather to have each 'foo'adm target configurations of parameters at the 'foo'layer. In this case, LSO and Jumbo MTU support are both data-link properties which is why I feel that dladm is the more appropriate tool. --Sowmini _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
