 | | DECnet Phase IV objects have been defined to be used in conjunction with the Internet MIB to allow access and control of these new objects by the Internet community. | | | In this document, EXECUTOR is intended to reference only the DECnet software and is not intended to effect any other protocols which may be running on the system. | | | These -- counters latch at their maximum specified value until either -- the system is restarted, or they are reset to zero by the user -- or management software. |

| | DECnet for Linux FAQ |
| | DECnet for Linux is only really of use to you if you have OpenVMS machines, or other machines that use DECnet, on your site. | | | DECnet is implemented in terms of the Berkeley sockets API used for TCP/IP so the same techniques for socket/bind/connect etc apply to DECnet too. | | | DECnet was designed by Digital as a way to interconnect their range of products. |

| | DECnet for OpenVMS AXP: A Case History 1 Abstract The DECnet for OpenVMS AXP networking software facilitates the integration of OpenVMS AXP systems into existing DECnet computing environments. | | | DECnet for OpenVMS AXP Components This section describes the major DECnet for OpenVMS AXP components and lists the porting issues relevant to each.[2] Figure 1 shows the interconnection of the various components of the DECnet for OpenVMS AXP software. | | | Each time new DECnet for OpenVMS AXP images or test procedures had to be added to the shared disk during a test or debug session, the Alpha AXP test system had to be stopped, the disk mounted on the VAX system, images copied, the disk dismounted, and the Alpha AXP system rebooted. |

| | DECnet (Linktionary term) |
| | DECnet interconnects Digital PDP and VAX minicomputers systems as well as desktop personal computers and workstations. | | | DECnet Phase III implemented many advanced networking features, including adaptive routing that could detect link failures and reroute traffic as necessary. | | | In 1980, Digital, Xerox, and Intel announced Ethernet as a way to interconnect computer systems. |

| | RFC 1405 (rfc1405) - Mapping between X.400(1984/1988) and Mail-11 (DECnet |
| | This document covers mainly the O/R address to DECnet from/to address mapping (and vice versa); other mappings are based on RFC 1327 and its eventual future updates. | | | Another important aspect of the problem is the coexistence of many disjoint DECnet networks, using the same DECnet address space, i.e., common X.400 and/or RFC822 mailing system acting as glue to connect different isolated Mail-11 islands. | | | Considering the case where a message is relayed between two X.400 MHS via a DECnet network this could result in a nearly complete loss of information. |
