Node 4.249

(sending again as I sent this from the wrong account, apologies if you get a duplicate) As I work on my user mode DECnet router I sometimes leave it running for a while just to see that it is stable over the longer term. During those runs I have noticed that the adjacency 4.249 frequently drops out only to come back a few seconds later. This does not happen with any other adjacency. Before I go investigating, is there something unusual about this node? Regards Rob

Any DECnet Routing Protocol Experts Out There?

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I found a bug in my adjacency processing that made other adjacencies use index 0 in the decision database, I think that is what has been causing the Check failures. -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Paul_Koning at Dell.com Sent: 25 August 2012 22:55 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: Re: [HECnet] Any DECnet Routing Protocol Experts Out There? You process address 0 exactly as any other level 1 routing message entry. Then in the forwarding process of an L1 router, if the destination is out of area, use entry 0 to decide how to forward the packet. Why do you get failures from Check? I don't see how you could get that. paul On Aug 25, 2012, at 4:36 PM, Rob Jarratt wrote: I am working on a user mode DECnet router and I have a question about the Level 1 Routing message. Specifically, sometimes I receive a level 1 routing message with routing information for destination address 0. The spec says this represents the "nearest level 2 router". What I am not clear about is how this is supposed to be treated in the Decision Process, specifically Section 4.7.3 item F in the specification. The reason I ask is that if I blindly accept address 0 I think it corrupts the hop and cost tables, because the Check process then gets failures. Thanks Rob

Storageworks SBB CD-ROM box

by md.benson＠gmail.com

Hi, I don't suppose anyone has a 5/25" CD-ROM Storage Building Block (with or without CD ROM drive) for a BA36x storage array? They are the one that mounts across 3 bays and occupies 1 or 2 IDS on the bus. I am looking for one that will work in a BA365 (late top-gun blue coloured) array. Colour matching isn't a concern as long as it works. Thanks. -- Mark Benson http://DECtec.info Twitter: @DECtecInfo HECnet: STAR69::MARK Online Resource & Mailing List for DEC Enthusiasts.

License loading madness

by sampsa＠mac.com

There were hundreds of them and I wasn't able to capture them, as I was on a VGA screen + actual keyboard. It was some weird file formatting error with how the CD was burned.
