Separate from how packets travel, the Clearview project includes the facility to snoop loopback. I
specifically tested that when the feature was in preview mode on build 47. It has not yet been
integrated into ON, per the latest project release note for build 55.

I have two NICs on my box with addresses 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1.
Subnet mask on both interfaces is 255.255.255.0.
If I snoop one interface and then do a 'ping -i' using the other
interface I never see packets on the snoop. I assume Solaris is
short-circuiting the ping.
Yes. All local addresses are local, and the ping(1M) man page
explicitly says:
-i interface_address Specify the outgoing interface address
to use for multicast packets for IPv4
and both multicast and unicast packets
for IPv6.
For IPv4, it's the outgoing interface for *multicast* packets.
Is there any way to stop it? Playing with
the routing table perhaps?
Open a raw DLPI socket and write to it, or get a 'network' that's
bigger than just one machine -- two nodes ought to do it.
