L.S.
Anf10 ethernet and sync lines are 2 separate domains and currently there are no standard
interconnections.
The (now late) Johnny Ericsson had an Anf10 tunnel but I never tried it.
On a KL10 with dte interface a certain routing should be possible, but that cannot yet be
done
I also restored a DN200 Pdp11 simh workstation (see Anfu63) with terminals and peripherals
with remote printing, plotting etc.
The network looks like this from the multi kdp/dup node with 2 decnet and 2 anf10 active:

It was not full mesh. ANF10 has routing with metrics
like DECnet and
RDH even wrote a driver to talk over Ethernet between KL's.
If anyone is curious, here below is a link to the ANF-to-Ethernet code by RDH.
It contains some nice explanation too :)
