+Snoop support.
+**************
+
+This version includes support for /usr/sbin/snoop. Tests has been done
+on both Solaris 7 and 8. Only IPv4 and IPv6 packets will be sent
+up to streams marked as promiscuous, e.g, snoop et al.
+
+IPv6 Support.
+*************
+
+This version has been tested under Solaris 8 running IPv6. As of now,
+interoperability testing has only been done between Solaris machines
+in terms of the IPV6 NCP. An additional command line option for the
+pppd daemon has been added: ipv6cp-use-persistent
+
+By default, compilation for IPv6 support is not enabled. Uncomment the
+necessary lines in pppd/Makefile.sol2 to enable it. Once done, the
+quickest way to get IPv6 running is to add the following somewhere
+in the command line option:
+
+       +ipv6 ipv6cp-use-persistent
+
+The persistent id for the link-local address was added to conform to
+RFC 2472; such that if there's an EUI-48 available, use that to make up
+the EUI-64. As of now, the Solaris implementation extracts the EUI-48
+id from the Ethernet's MAC address (the ethernet interface needs to
+be up). Future works might support other ways of obtaining a unique
+yet persistent id, such as EEPROM serial numbers, etc.
