Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
Refer to the Install.info file for instructions on using the
generic 'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with
each patch.  Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below as special instructions.

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
After the patch installation is complete, do the following steps 
to make sure that the system is running at its optimum performance.
1. cd /etc/opt/SUNWipx
2. vi ipxtab
3. enter the size of the largest packet that PPS sends to
other hosts. Note that this applies only to SPX-I connections,
ie, not to SPX-II, which is the newer version of SPX.
The default value is 576 bytes, but you can set this to a larger
value to get better performance. For example, the maximum value
for Ethernet would be 1500.
The syntax for the spxmaxpacket is:

spxmaxpacket number

4. reboot the machine to resync all drivers
