Solstice Enterprise Agents
Solstice Enterprise Agents might not be supported in a future release.
Standalone Router Discovery
The /usr/sbin/in.rdisc implementation of the IPv4 ICMP Router Discovery protocol might
not be supported in a future release of the Solaris software. A near-equivalent version of this
protocol, which is implemented as a component of /usr/sbin/in.routed, supports an
enhanced administrative interface. The /usr/sbin/in.routed component supports the
implementation of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) version 2. The /usr/sbin/in.routed
component also has the ability to distinguish Mobile IP advertisements from Router Discovery
messages.
Sun Fire Link Interfaces
The Sun Fire Link Interfaces might no longer be supported in a future Solaris release.

DeviceTypes
Support for token ring (DL_TPR) and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) device types in

implemented, drivers for token ring or FDDI that rely on this support in GLD cease to function.
However, other drivers or applications that do not use this support are not aected. To test
whether a driver relies on GLD, run the following script:
