Ah ok. So this isn't a GRE solution, it would require someone either
running the original 'bridge', or this same program at the remote end?

bridge the networks, instead it routes between your local Ethernet(s) and
the "Ethernet" that comes in over the UDP interface.
I hope that explains it.

Johnny's 'bridge' uses bpf, and it works just fine on linux, so I'm
not concerned.

Using the ip_gre kernel module with iptunnel to configure and bring up
the GRE tunnel, it would be rudimentary to match on 0x6002, 0x6003,
and 0x6004 in the tunnel packets using a netfilter module such as
http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO/netfilter-extensions-HOWTO-3.h…
It's not rocket science. :)

I have not written anything specifically to make it a GRE endpoint (if that is the right term). It can work as a direct replacement for the bridge in that it can talk the same protocols. In other words on a LAN it implements the DECnet Ethernet interface, and it also accepts the UDP packet format processed by the bridge. The difference being of course that it does not bridge the networks, instead it routes between your local Ethernet(s) and the "Ethernet" that comes in over the UDP interface.

For one thing, Eisner is who? (What specialty does this machine do?)
And for another how did the machine in question get named?
Eisner is the DECUSserve system originally sanctioned by DECUS many years
ago. DECUSserve has been many different architectures over the years but
it is now an Alpha running OpenVMS.
Eisner refers to the late Dan Eisner who was instrumental in developing
the DECUSserve concept/system.
I can cite complex examples behind why my machines get their names,
its almost a definite cause to change the subject.
Star Wars? Star Trek? Dr. Who? Dr. Seuss?? :)
Once those are answered we can go back to beating that protocol model

Anybody know what happened with that discussion re: EISNER and HECnet?
Also, is EISNER even up any more? I can't seem to connect to it.
EISNER is being or has been physically relocated. Once it is back up, I'll
see what can be done about getting it connected to HECnet. I have no idea
what'll be available network-wise/router-wise until EISNER is back on-line.
Mind you with such a large change anyway, it might be a good time to "sneak in" the connection to HECnet :)
I totally dislike the "sneak in" comment. If it is going to happen, it must be done very openly and consciously. Noone will benefit from trying to sneak something in.

I think you misunderstood what I meant, I prob expressed it badly, my main point was that since the system is undergoing so many changes etc anyway right now as to be down, this would be a best time to join HECnet..

Really ? I've been using it for years and haven't noticed this.
The HECnet bridge, OTOH, crashes regularly. It doesn't seem to recover
gracefully from network hiccups.
Don't have a Cisco, so I can't comment on that.
My cisco gear (aside from the fact tunnel connect operations can be blocking at times...) run fine!
