Metanetwork

A metanetwork, as illustrated in Figure 1-6, is a construct that enables you to access a network via either of two physical paths without having to reference either path explicitly within your scripts and programs. You reference a metanetwork (in your scripts and programs) using a metanetwork interface name such as mle1. (See "Metanetwork Interfaces" for more information.)

In Figure 1-6, mle1 is used to access a metanetwork, regardless of which controller (le1 or le6) is currently processing I/O for the metanetwork.
