Interestingly enough, the DECnet network management architecture spec says the limit is
255. 33 is correct, actually; the reason is that an Ethernet router hello message contains
a list of the other routers heard by this router, and the encoding of the packet limits
the length of that list to 33 entries. paul
I was afraid the users of Johnny's bridge could be over that limit, since all the
connected networks are -from DECNET point of view- part of the same ethernet (all the
nodes are adjacent). I have taken a look at the HELLO messages I'm getting and I see
just 10 routers, so we are still far away from the absolute limit, but just at the
recommended maximum.
