So, my question is: which of DLPI/sockets/TLI would be the most efficient to do this? DLPI seemed the logical choice to me, but I read somewhere about it being "a bloated montrosity" with way too much overhead. :) Would somebody care to shed some light on this? And, yes, we are running Solaris 2.3 csos3> uname -a SunOS csos3 5.3 Generic sun4m sparc Thanks in advance. Amit
