Some time ago the following announcement was made regarding Solaris10: "Recent 
updates have added policy-based routing, which provides a means to set routing 
policy for individual connections" 
(http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ds/network_performance.jsp).

However, there seem to be no end to the confusion over what this actually means.

At first I thought this was referencing Quagga, but it appears not so.  A 
similar claim was made regarding Nevada circa snv_30 in CR 6264845, but that 
putback only included hooks for NEXTHOP... that revelation led me to a dead 
end.  I assume that hook was put in place for something else (IPF, Quagga,etc) 
to fill the PBR void.

So the only reference I see to PBR in Solaris is to do so with IP Filter, but 
its either not documented or burried.  

Therefore, I have the following questions to get answered:

1) The Solaris 10 announcement for support of Policy Based Routing refers to 
_what_ technology?
2) Is IPFilter the only way to accomplish PBR?
3) Where can I find documentation/examples/details about IPF PBR?

Thanks!
