Yes, the Cisco can do area remapping. We only need to remap at the single border point - everyone in HECnet will see them as one area and everyone in the Italian Decnet will see them as the other area.

Hi, I know there had been discussion before about bringing these two together. Although, I must admit that I didn't pay too much attention to what went on, just that I don't think it happened. So, tell me to get lost if this has been suggested or if nobody cares... Now that we have Cisco routers and DECbrouters on the network, has anyone considered connecting a GRE tunnel into their network and then using the DECnet address translation gateway in IOS to map their network to an area we allocate specifically for them. That way there is no merging as such, just a bit of "gluing". Regards, Tim. If I had a spec for what is needed I could probably also implement what is needed for the user mode router I have written, it would give a little bit of flexibility too as the code is readily available. Is the Italian HECnet all one area, or are there multiple areas? As far as I can remember it's all in one area. Can Cisco's do area remapping? If so, then let's do it, assuming the italians are interested and have some Cisco box.
