Paul, so if more decnet routers are heard of on the land, what happens with:
A) the list that gets transmitted is truncated, the 32 most recent routers and the
transmitting host itself are on it?
B) the locally maintained list, is that also limited to 33 entries?
Almost (A) but not quite. If more than the max routers show up on the Ethernet (whatever
that limit is it can be set to less than 33), the excess are dropped first based on
router priority, and if it s a tie then by address (higher address wins). See section
9.1.1 in the DNA Routing spec. The adjacency that s rejected as a result is logged
event 4.16, with no reason code because the Netman spec forgot to define a specific reason
code for this particular case.
