Really? I thought clustering over ethernet used DECnet. Clustering over ethernet uses ethernet phsy/data-link and adds its own network layer. Cluster communications over ethernet (LAVC) begin early in VMS long before DECnet or TCP/IP are ever started. Recent versions of VMS for Alphas and Itanium do have a cluster-over-IP option but it's not a requirement to cluster over ethernet. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
