There is some inconsistency at least in the specification (I assume that the implementation works). /dev/net nodes are not observability nodes, but full-fledged DLPI link nodes. /dev/ipnet nodes are IP observability nodes. The new materials state: + using the /dev/net/ facility implemented for "Clearview: IP + Observability Devices" (PSARC 2006/475). These nodes will be + named by the bridge name plus a trailing "0". /dev/net nodes were added by 2006/499, and /dev/ipnet nodes by 2006/475. The inconsistency should be fixed in the spec. -Seb
