I need to get status and statistics from IPMP. Specifically, I need to know:
* What is the current failure detection time for interface x?
* What host(s) is/are interface x using for ping targets? How long
has it been the target? What is the average ping time?
There are a whole bunch of "why is it doing this" questions that just can't be answered without a lot of pain at the current time.
I need this information as an administrator - not as a developer. That is, as an administrator, I should be able to run a command that provides this information. I shouldn't have to write a C program to do it.
