If you build Quagga in SFW or if you would like to use
bridging, read on.  Otherwise, you may stop reading now.

With the the following putback:
   PSARC 2007/596 RBridges: Routing Bridges
   PSARC 2008/055 Solaris Bridging
   PSARC 2009/344 Bridging Updates
   6223953 Solaris should provide layer 2 bridging
   6770623 bogus error messages generated by dladm should be cleaned up

the Solaris RBridges project has been integrated into ON.
This component includes basic Ethernet bridging (with Rapid
Spanning Tree), and is administered through dladm(1M).  You
can create bridge instances on Solaris, and link together
Ethernet networks with this feature.  For more information,
see the updated dladm(1M) man page, PSARC 2008/055, and IEEE
802.1D.

This component also includes the OS infrastructure necessary
for TRILL.  When the TRILL (RBridge) component is delivered
to SFW in build 125, the ON portions will become necessary on
the SFW build machines.  They're not necessary at this time.

Until the TRILL components are delivered to SFW, the ON
portion will support only standard STP-based bridges.  These
are the default.
