You should have the underlying technology from the Clearview project,
the change in Solaris 11 was to enable the "vanity naming" by default
for all physical links:

      This project provides default physical network device
      datalink names based on a common prefix - "net" by default -
      and an instance number based on the physical location of the
      device within the system.  Instead of having physical datalinks
      with names tied to the underlying hardware - e.g. e1000g0,1 or
      bge0,1 - the more generic names net0, net1 etc are used.  The
      ordering of instances net0-N is based on the relative physical location
      of the network devices in the system.    This work will also leverage
      libtopo and DDI properties to provide slot location information in
      dladm.
