NAME
       clprivnet - SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver

SYNOPSIS
       /dev/clprivnet

DESCRIPTION
       Note -

	 Beginning  with  the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
	 still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more  infor-
	 mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.

       The  SUNW,clprivnet  Sun  Cluster  private  network driver is a STREAMS pseudo driver supporting Sun Cluster resident applications that use
       standard Solaris interfaces to communicate over the Sun Cluster private network. By striping data traffic over all links, this driver opti-
       mally utilizes the bandwidth of the private network while supporting highly available, software fault-tolerant communication.

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
       The driver is supported by the character-special device /dev/clprivnet, but is reserved for Sun Cluster internal operation and the standard
       Solaris network utilities. This interface must not be directly used for general application communication.

ADMINISTRATION
       The administration and configuration of the driver as a network interface is done completely by the Sun Cluster infrastructure internals.
