Two questions:
1. What do you consider a "network interface"? Solaris has a more
complex topology than other UNIX variants -- e.g., network devices,
datalinks, and IP interfaces are all distinct namespaces and
layers.
2. As per (1), devices, datalinks, and IP interfaces all have unique
namespaces. Thus, the tuple of <nodename,ifname> should uniquely
identify a given object. Why is this not sufficient?
