The timer is set to 06/15/2009. The Solaris Bridging project (PSARC 2008/055) has not yet integrated. In order to support changes encountered in design review, this proposal modifies that previous project and has the same Minor release binding. The primary changes (in summary) are: - Self-protection A self-protection mechanism for the forwarding table was added to avoid both memory explosion and some data theft threats. Bridges by default forward to all interfaces, so avoiding theft generally means deleting entries. - Optional installation The bridging packages are optional, so dladm must return an error if the user tries to create a bridge and the optional software isn't installed. A generic Consolidation Private DLADM_STATUS_OPTMISSING error is added for this (and for any future similar cases). The packages are placed into a new SUNWCbridge cluster. - /dev/bridge/ is gone This is no longer needed; Clearview's /dev/net/ observability nodes serve all the needs of the bridging design. - Added accidentally-omitted long option names for dladm - Dynamic reconfiguration now supported New Project Private SUNW_bridge_rcm.so module added. - IEEE STP "mcheck" supported - Crossbow polling disabled on bridged links - MTU and link up/down handling detailed The "materials" directory in the case contains these files: bridging-design.pdf - current, reviewed design document (1.3) bridging-spec.txt - updated architecture document bridging-spec.diff - diffs versus final 2008/055 architecture -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 From sacadmin Tue Jun 16 12:54:44 2009 Received: from dm-east-02.east.sun.com (dm-east-02.East.Sun.COM [129.148.13.5]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id n5GJshEW029527 for ; Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:54:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from phorcys.east.sun.com (phorcys.East.Sun.COM [129.148.174.143]) by dm-east-02.east.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id n5GJshkB015472 for ; Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:54:43 -0400 (EDT) Received: from phorcys.east.sun.com (phorcys.local [127.0.0.1]) by phorcys.east.sun.com (8.14.3+Sun/8.14.3) with ESMTP id n5GJrOnU006395 for ; Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:53:24 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from carlsonj@localhost) by phorcys.east.sun.com (8.14.3+Sun/8.14.3/Submit) id n5GJrOPL006392; Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:53:24 -0400 (EDT) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <18999.63540.822725.882306@gargle.gargle.HOWL> Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:53:24 -0400 From: James Carlson To: psarc@sac.sfbay.sun.com Subject: 2009/344 Bridging Updates X-Mailer: VM 7.01 under Emacs 21.3.1 Status: RO Content-Length: 571 This project has received several +1s.
