Create VNICs over paravirtualized IPoIB datalinks – In Oracle Solaris Kernel Zones, you can create an IPoIB VNIC over a paravirtualized IPoIB datalink. The IPoIB VNIC enables you to create a non-global zone inside a kernel zone. See Creating VNICs Over Paravirtualized IPoIB Datalink.
Configure offload policy for a NIC – To utilize NIC resources effectively, you can configure the offload policy for a NIC by using the hw-flow property. See Setting Properties for Flows.
Configure a group of flow filters for a flow – You can configure a flow that consist of multiple flow filters. See Configuring a Flow With a Group of Flow Filters
Display per-ring statistics and input and output packet drops for an aggregation – The dlstat show-aggr command can display per-ring statistics, and input and output packet drops for an aggregation. See Displaying Network Traffic Statistics of Link Aggregations.
Create VNICs with dedicated ring groups to support hardware SLAs of VNICs – VNICs can have their own dedicated transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) ring groups. These VNICs have better resource isolation, hardware SLA enforcement, and hardware anti-spoofing support. See Creating VNICs With Dedicated Ring Groups.
Identify the link status of an IPoIB VNIC – You can use the datalink property, broadcast-group to check whether the IPoIB VNIC has failed to join the broadcast multicast group. See Identifying the Link Status of an IPoIB VNIC.
