The changes made for using /dev/net seems to be a good compromise for
benefiting from the UV features while
inhaling this library quickly enough in OpenSolaris, and opening the
door for adding further dependent apps and libs
to FOSS.
Architecturally, this library injects, captures 'n parses packets at the
Ethernet frame level and at IP and higher level
protocols level, so I see value in a future project for porting libnet
to the PF_PACKET socket as soon as the latter is ready.
The PF_PACKET porting project to Opensolaris is being implemented by the
gld-iteam. GLD-iteam
it would be good to ARC it soon.
