If I send a properly formatted packet of type 90-00 to DEC ethernet controllers, DEUNA, DEQNA, DELUA, etc, the packet will be forwarded, according to the manual, by the controller, to wherever you set in the forwarding address field. Does anyone know for sure if in the case of VMS, Ultrix and BSD 4.3 if it is always the case that the packet is forwarded by the controller and not the port driver? The reason I ask is that I seem to get different timing and response results when I am "pinging" interfaces owned by Ultrix and VMS. The "Loop Message Format" is described in the DELUA manual, among others.
