Fast switching mode keeps the communication alive during transfer route failure and increases the total throughput by multiplexing transfer routes between servers on the same network.
A global zone is the global view of the Solaris operating environment. There is always one global zone per Solaris instance. Each software partition that is created within the Solaris instance can be managed and controlled in the global zone.

GS/SURE linkage mode multiplexes transfer routes between global server/SURE SYSTEM and ExINCA lies on the same network. This mode provides functionality of transfer route failover during transfer route failure in which implements high availability.
A mode to realize high reliability by exclusively using a redundant NIC and switching when an error occurred. It is necessary to connect a redundant NIC in the same network in this mode.
Each non-global zone has a security boundary around it. The security boundary is maintained by allowing zones to only communicate between themselves using networking APIs.

Redundant Line Control function
A function to realize high reliability of communication by making a network line redundant.
Solaris Zones isolates software applications and services using flexible, software-defined boundaries. This software partitioning enables administrators to easily create many private execution environments in a single instance of the Solaris Operating System. It also enables dynamic control of applications and resource priorities. For details, see the "Solaris manual."
An interface created for a Redundant Line Control Function to deal with a redundant NIC as one virtual NIC. The virtual interface name is described as fjvnetX (X is 0, 1, 2...).
This mode enables the highly reliable communication by exclusively using a pair of the physical NICs which were grouped on the same network as a single virtual interface.
