The major use of PyDECnet is as a DECnet node. But it also can be a bridge, functionally
comparable to Johnny's original design. And that one can indeed (optionally) forward
MOP and/or LAT. I also played a bit with additional flags to enable forwarding of IP
traffic (08-00 and 08-06) and also Phase V traffic (802.2 SAP address FE). Check out
doc/config.txt in the PyDECnet sources, it's in there.
If anyone wants to play with this and needs some help to get started, please let me know.

It [pyDECnet] normally accepts DECnet/MOP and LAT (EtherTypes 0x8003,
0x8002 and 0x8004) Ethernet frames and tunnels them in IPv4 to another router.
Are you sure? I don't think pyDECnet can tunnel either MOP nor LAT ...
