Correct; I'm not suggesting that BPF use DLPI under the hood at all, simply that the two implementations could share a common header format. This only makes too much sense to me.
implementing that by having BPF turn on DL_IOC_IPNET_INFO for DL_IPNET devices.
This is less relevant, I think. Darren may very well implement BPF in such a way that it doesn't interact with any DLPI infrastructure, which is fine.
(Sebastien, is that man page available to people *not* working at Sun? For that matter, are binary builds of the current state of Solaris 11/OpenSolaris available to people not working at Sun, to, for example, install on VMware virtual machines?)
All of this is available in the open, yes. OpenSolaris is available to anyone on the planet. You can download and install a live CD image here: http://www.opensolaris.com/ Bi-weekly development builds are available publicly via the development package repository at http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/. Man pages are included in these builds. In addition, Sun keeps current copies of man pages at docs.sun.com available for the public. For example, the ipnet(7P)/lo0(7P) man page I was referring to is available at: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2254/ipnet-7d?a=view -Seb - This is the tcpdump-workers list.
