Suitable is a difficult question.
LAT was designed for local networks. There is no routing capability in it, and it relies
on broadcast functionality to work.
However, if you configure my bridge program for it, it can pass on LAT frames just as well
as DECnet, and it works just fine.
And the same goes for MOP, by the way.
