Drivenets, as I understand it, is an attempt to physically deaggregate a multi-chassis fabric down to the chip level using a proprietary chip-set-specific cell based interlink protocol. However, it retains a single control plane and as such looks like a single IS-IS system.  It has no relationship whatsoever to area proxy.
