That sounds like a datalink, not an interface. Given that the protocol family is PF_INET/PF_INET6, it seems like the namespace should be objects in that namespace -- i.e., IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces, not datalinks. (Note that it is possible (though certainly not recommended) to have a datalink named foo0 and an interface named foo0 that have no relationship to one another.) -- meem _______________________________________________ opensolaris-arc mailing list [email protected]
