Description
===========
Compaq DECnet-Plus for Tru64 UNIX software is an implementation of the
DIGITAL Network Architecture (DNA) for the Compaq DECnet-Plus for Tru64 UNIX
operating system. This software supports DNA Phase V, which is the
integration of DECnet, OSI, and TCP/IP protocols. This support allows the
different network protocol stacks to be available to upper layers as
discrete transport services. Upper layers have been implemented as separate
towers, enabling existing DECnet and OSI applications to share available
network services.
Features
========
DECnet for Small Configurations (DNALITE501). For installation
on systems with limited disk space and memory (32 MB of memory or less),
or requiring only basic DECnet Phase IV functionality (mail, file
transfer, and remote login). This configuration also supports use of
DECnet over TCP/IP.
A graphical user interface (GUI) for basic and advanced
configuration
An OSI Session Programming Interface (SPI)
Remote file transfer
Network virtual terminal
Task-to-task communications
Mail
Coexistence and interoperation with the Internet protocols
(TCP/IP based), including the ability to run DECnet and OSI applications
over the TCP/IP transport
Network-wide resource sharing and management as defined by the
DNA protocols
A GUI to the network management facility known as the Network
Control Language (NCL)
Expanded naming options, allowing the use of a large local
namespace, DECdns, and/or DNS/BIND as naming services
Network services access point (NSAP) addresses in DECdns and
BIND
A configurable routing option (segregated mode) that allows the
routing layer to choose a Phase IV router for packets having a Phase IV
compatible address
