"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.
