It's just
plain simple point-to-point links.
So you must have a DECnet point-to-point device driver that somehow can emulate
multiple circuits with on instance of the driver. How do you do that? That's the limitation on the VMS implementation
- each instance of the device driver is one circuit. If you have a new remote node you
need a new circuit, a new instance of the driver, and hence a different port. You
can't have two separate instances of the driver listening on the same port.
Each instance of the device is one circuit for me too. It's just that I
can have several instances listening on the same port.
