It's already not true for lo0, vni0, ...
And so we have a clearview project to address snoop for loopback
because it doesn't work as expected and...the lo0 on Solaris seems
out of place in terms of design - an abberation, if you like.
If IPMP is just more of the same then that part of Clearview is
just perpetuating that design badness, unless we are going to use
it as a model for others to deliver logical interfaces into Solaris?
If Solaris, today, didn't have any IPMP functionality and someone
came to you and said they wanted to build something into Solaris
that delivers what IPMP does today, how would you recommend they
go about it?
