How network selection works
The network selection component is built around:
-
A network configuration database (the /etc/netconfig file)
that contains an entry for each network on the system.
-
An optional NETPATH
environment variable, set by a user and containing an
ordered list of network identifiers.
These network identifiers match the netconfig ``network ID'' field
and are used as links to the records in the netconfig file.
-
A network selection application programming interface.
The interface
consists of a set of network configuration database access routines.
