Subject: [networking-discuss] announcing the Clearview project

As of now, the Clearview project is an official OpenSolaris project:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/clearview/

Clearview is a project to rationalize, unify, and enhance the way
network interfaces are handled in Solaris at the programmatic and
administrative levels.  While this sounds a bit opaque, the effects of
ensuring that all network interfaces have these attributes are
far-reaching and eminently practical.  For example, as a result of
Clearview, customers will be able to:

   * Observe all IP layer network traffic, including loopback, IPMP group
     and IP tunnel traffic.
   * Observe all IP layer network traffic flowing to and from a zone.
   * Administrate all network interfaces using dladm(1M).
   * Use VLANs and form link aggregations on all Ethernet devices.
   * Use IPMP with technologies such as DHCP and routing protocols.
   * Select names for network interfaces, easing migration of network
     configuration information between systems or zones, and markedly
     improving Dynamic Reconfiguration.

? and more.

For now, discussions and announcements related to the project will
remain on networking-discuss@opensolaris.org, but we may create a
project-specific list in the future if the need arises.
