I've got great news for everyone who is interested in network virtualization and resource control for Solaris. The OpenSolaris Crossbow project team has just dropped a pre-beta snapshot of the Crossbow code at the project web site. The project "What's New" page is a good place to get started.

Want to use the new pre-Beta code? Then go to the OpenSolaris Crossbow site at: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/snapshots/

For technical details on the newest Crossbow feature Etherstubs, check out Nicolas Droux's newest blog entry.

If you are unfamiliar with Crossbow and would like an overview, I humbly submit a link to my Wikipedia article OpenSolaris Network Virtualization and Resource Control. Congratulations to team lead Kais Belgaied and the members of Project Crossbow.
