Install Requirements: After installing this patch on an active boot environment, the system will be in a potentially inconsistent state until a reconfigure reboot is performed. Unless otherwise specified in the Special Install Instructions below, it is normally safe to apply further patches prior to initiating the reboot due to the relatively small footprint of the patch utilities. Normal operations must not be resumed until after the reconfigure reboot is performed.
Use Single User Mode (run level S) when installing this patch on an active boot environment. An alternative may be specified in the Special Install Instructions.

Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
Please refer to the man pages for instructions on using 'patchadd'
and 'patchrm' commands provided with Solaris.
 
The following example installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
       example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/123456-07
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
       example# patchrm 123456-07
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages. Any
other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.


Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
Not all patches listed in this section as needed for the completion
of a fix or feature, may be available at the same time as this patch.
This allows the remaining fixes/features to be made available sooner.
 
NOTE 1:  To get the complete fix for 4837086 (CMSG_FIRSTHDR should return
         NULL when controllen == 0), please also install the following patches:
 
         114348-05 (or greater)  in.routed patch
         114442-02 (or greater)  ifconfig patch
         116018-02 (or greater)  in.ndpd patch
         116507-02 (or greater)  traceroute patch
         116775-01 (or greater)  ping patch

         116779-01 (or greater)  in.ripngd patch
 
NOTE 2:  Installing this patch will permanently move /sbin/in.mpathd to the
         new location /usr/lib/inet/in.mpathd.  /sbin/in.mpathd will then be
         replaced by a symlink to this new location.
 
         Backing this patch out will restore the original in.mpathd binary,
         but the positional change described above will not be undone.
 
NOTE 3:  To get the complete fix for 4796820 (IPMP starts outgoing traffic
         on failed interface with option FAILBACK=no), please also install
         the following patch:
 
         122674-01 (or greater)  sockio.h header patch
 
NOTE 4:  To get the complete fix for 6176096 (issues with IP fragment
         handling), please also install the following patch:
 
         122301-04 (or greater)  kernel patch
 
NOTE 5:  To get the complete fix for 6402737 (IP spends too much time
         identifying bad remote host when under SYN attack), please also
