After around 17 years of being out in the cold, BPF is now integrated into the SunOS kernel. At long last it is no longer necessary to use binary patches on a SunOS kernel or do the filtering in userland. BPF can be found in Solaris Express Community Edition build 125 onwards and in upcoming releases of OpenSolaris. It will take a little bit longer to update the version of libpcap that Sun ships, as part of SFW, to start using BPF. From my testing, the libpcap that is distributed via tcpdump.org will automatically discover and use the BPF module. Darren - This is the tcpdump-workers list.
