By the way, I do agree that it looks like you spotted the problem, in
that the KG11 seems to just do a single cycle when it should process a
word. Now you just need to figure out why it goes wrong in that way. :-)

I did a little checking on the code.
If the KG11 is configured, it is used for *all* CRC computations. There
are no exceptions that I can find. However, I should point out that the
DUP11 also have built-in CRC generation. So I suspect that DECnet is
only computing the CRC for the header itself, since that needs to be
baked into the message, and the CRC for the full packet is left to the
DUP11 to add.
At the end of the use of the KG11 by DECnet, it restores the state of
the KG11 to whatever it was previously set to. The comments just say
that the device is shared, and thus the previous state is restored.
That's probably why you see the setting back to Crc-12 at the end.
Also, DECnet does not use the KG in the receive processing or transmit
processing itself. It does the CRC computation before any transmission
is done, or after all reception is complete.
So no need for multiple KG11 units.

The annotated debug snippet speaks for itself.
As the KG11 passes the basic exercises normal Crc-16 operation is
assumed.
However a certain Decnet11MP KG11 support code sequence seems to
trigger one intermediate single cycle run destroying the checksum,
hence the bad header checksum.
In which way the second part of the data message is checksummed
appears to be done in software instead of with KG11 support.
Also with multiple KG11’s, only one is used, contrary to KG11
operation advice for full duplex lines (at least 2 KG11’s).
To be continued …

It's supposedly used for everything that needs a CRC where the
hardware device itself don't provide it.
Basically, the CRC16 computation is a service in the DECnet executive
environment. As such, anything that needs a CRC16 computation done
calls this same service. And that service then makes use of the KG11
if it has been configured to do so.
No reason to have multiple implementations of this computation. The
DECnet executive is a pretty neat thing in RSX. It's like an operating
system of its own inside RSX, with its own scheduler, memory
management, and various services.

I agree that it would be nice to confirm that
this works in real
hardware, but I also find it unlikely that it
wouldn't.
While DEC was not perfect, I would expect that
they actually had
tested this before releasing the software.
