[crossbow-discuss] Announcing the CrossBow early access bits on OpenSolaris

[Nicolas Droux]

The CrossBow team is pleased to announce the availability of the first 
CrossBow release on OpenSolaris.org.

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/CrossbowRelease08-2006

This release delivers the core functionality of project CrossBow:

# Virtual NICs (VNICs)
# Bandwidth control for TCP
# Stack instances for Zones

CrossBow provides the building blocks for network virtualization and 
resource control by virtualizing the stack and NIC around any service 
(HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, NFS, etc.), protocol (TCP, UDP, SCTP, etc.), Zones, 
or Virtual machines (Xen, Logical Domains, etc.)

More information about CrossBow can be found at the OpenSolaris project 
home page at http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow

For questions or comments about CrossBow in general or this release in 
particular, please send email to crossbow-discuss at opensolaris.org

Enjoy!

Nicolas.
