my _guess_ would be you would need to write some pseudo-driver (driver,
not module) that looks more or less like a NIC driver, but simply loops
things back up. call it, oh, the "loop" driver. get it installed into
the system and create the loop0 interface - bring lo0 down and bring
127.0.0.1

How should I approach it?
How about pushing a STREAMS module on top of the TCP
driver? ( Is *that* a STREAMS driver nowdays?)

Is there a real entity in the kernel which is the

be one), STREAMS mo
The Solaris and HP-UX 11.X stacks are "cousins" so this may help, it
may not...
Under HP-UX, if the traffic is to a machine-local IP address, it gets
looped-back in IP and never gets through DLPI into a driver and so
cannot be traced with tcpdump. However, there is an "unsupported" ndd

Hi !
I understand there is no solution to sniffing
for local traffic on Solaris since the
kernel always used the loopback interface for
that.
I suggest to write a STREAMS module to sit on top
of the loopback driver.
Does anyone know if the loopback driver is a
STREAMS driver ? (Say, Solaris 8 a
