           Summary: zebra should use libdevinfo on Solaris to discover link
                    information
           Product: Quagga
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Very High
         Component: zebra
        AssignedTo: maintainers at quagga.net
        ReportedBy: paul at dishone.st


At present zebra on Solaris tries to maintain its view of network interface
state through use of Solaris IP interfaces. These two things are not quite the
same thing and lead to some problems.

Libdevinfo, which goes back to at least Solaris 7, should be used instead, to
allow for true link-centric view on Solaris.

Problems arise particularly with use of non-IP protocols, such as isisd.
