I don't think routing would be an issue as long as
you're all in the same
(oh, what do you call it "sub-net" or "region", something like that).
Of
course if you've more than 1024 machines, then you'd have a problem, BUT
any hobbiest with that many machines running DECnet HAS a problem :^)
They're called 'areas' in DECnet... up to 1023 nodes in each of 63
areas (10 bits for node, 6 bits for area) at least. I've forgotten if
area 0 is allowed...
