Although, the guts of the Internet DEC engineering network was a Class A (net 16) address
and it was IP routed and IP managed and DECnet hung off of it once it got an extreme size
and scale.

Does anyone know what the largest DECnet deplayment was duing the good old days?
The internal net at DEC was seriously out of addresses, though just like IP that's
partly because the addressing scheme forced it to be somewhat sparse. Still, there were
certainly tens of thousands of nodes on it.
