Hi Rob
Maybe you can add some info on your router at some point in the presentation?
BTW I meant to ask does it work under Windows?
I don't know about the python version - can you give me any more details please?
That s mine. It s not finished, but it s doing basic router work at this point.
I intend to add the layers above, so, for example, it will eventually support NICE. That
means doing NSP, and that is so far just a few bits and pieces.
It s written in Python 3, as a fairly straightforward implementation of what the
architecture specs say. Phase II, III, and IV.
That probably wasn t clear. I meant two things: (a) it should talk to II, III, and IV
nodes, and (b) it can be a II, III, or IV node. As a IV node, it is slightly odd in that
it will accept phase II neighbors, which typical DECnet implementations will do if they
are Phase III but not phase IV. But that s really just because the spec doesn t
describe how; it s fairly obvious how to make it work.
