Crossbow is a Network Virtualisation Technology which provides
virtualization capabilities at the MAC layer of the Solaris stack, and the
ability to leverage this MAC virtualization using virtual NICs (VNICs),
which can be assigned to zones or virtual machines.
It is mainly used for ensuring QOS ( Quality of service ), Server
Consolidation and Network Infrastructure.
2) What are the main features, what other technologies (open source or
not)> are similar or comparable with crossbow?

I dont think so. You can boot up Crossbow ISO in VirtualBox and try if you
have 2008.05 already installed.
