BTW, how did you implement ACTIVE NODES (i.e. how
did you determine which nodes are "active?)?
The above list looks very similar to what I have running. ACTIVE NODES for a
nonrouting node is defined as all nodes at the other end of a logical link, adjacent nodes
and the designated router.
I include the executor in active nodes, and that's generally what I've seen
others do. The spec does not say so, interestingly enough. The spec is also confused
because "adjacent nodes" isn't defined on non-routing nodes; the only
adjacency they have is the designated router. I'm assuming it wasn't the intent
for this to show the "on-NI cache", I don't remember seeing anyone do that.

SHOW ACTIVE NODES on both RSX and VMS does the equivalent of SHOW EXECUTOR SUMMARY
followed by all the other ?active? nodes. I don?t think anyone used the ?on-NI cache? but
it looks as though both RSX and VMS keep a cache of recently computed round-trip delays
and use that for ?adjacent nodes?.
