[comp.sys.dec] DECNet Routing

fkam@sodium.Asia.Sun.COM (05/20/91)

Here's a DECNET question. 

Given all three boxes below (A, B, and C) are running end-nodes only,
can traffic from Node A go to node C, say, decnet login from node A
to node C without getting "network unreachable"?

Notice that Node B participates onto two Ethernet LAN and acts as 
a gateway for TCP/IP traffic.


                  Node B
                    | |
                 ---   ----
                 |         |
              node C      node A

Since DNI V6.0 does not support Router Node, Node B cannot route DECNET
traffic from node A to C. 

Any tricks?  

Many thanks.
