Ah... Bloody hell. I double confused myself. RSX do show nodes without a

My confused postings happened because when you do a output to a file
from NCP in RSX, the output actually gets appended to a file, and does
not create a new file, and I accidentally directed output to already
existing files that had been done earlier with similar commands, so I
was actually looking at old outputs... :-/

Well, that is obviously not what RSX shows...
And I doubt any system do. Because a node can never have any ideas
what nodes are reachable in other areas. Which is exactly the thing
about 23.1023.
But I guess you could claim that 23.1023 is not *known* to be reachable.
But RSX also show node that are known not to be reachable, and without
names, if they have counters associated. Just tested that with Mim.
D'oh. Sorry. I managed to confuse myself.
Known nodes does not show a node that have no name and is known to not
be reachable.
I guess your description of known nodes does match what RSX does, Paul. On Apr 11, 2019, at 7:45 PM, Johnny Billquist

"Known nodes" is a tricky thing. It might also be different for
different OSes.
It might be but it should not be.? The DECnet architecture specifies
precisely what the term means.
Start with "active nodes": that means every node known to be reachable.
Given that, "known nodes" is defined as the union of active nodes and
named nodes.? So a nameless node is known if it is shown as reachable
by routing data (or by having an active adjacency), but not otherwise.
