DECnet-11M

This document is a Software Product Description (SPD) for DECnet-11M Version 4.3, a network product designed to allow RSX-11M systems to participate in DECnet computer networks as either routing or non-routing (end) nodes.

Key features detailed in the document include: * Network Functionality: Supports task-to-task communication, network file operations, remote command terminal support (CTERM), and adaptive routing within Phase IV network environments. * Connectivity: Utilizes Digital Network Architecture (DNA) protocols over various media, including Ethernet, synchronous/asynchronous lines, parallel interfaces, and X.25 circuits (when combined with RSX-11 P.S.I./M). * Configuration: Describes the hierarchical nature of Phase IV networks, including Area Routing capabilities. It provides detailed tables for hardware load costs based on processor type (UNIBUS and Q-BUS) to assist in system configuration. * Management: Includes the Network Control Program (NCP) for managing, testing, and displaying statistics on network nodes and components. * Prerequisites & Installation: Lists the minimum hardware and software requirements, including specific memory and disk space needs, and outlines the installation services provided by DIGITAL.

The document also provides comprehensive ordering information and lists of supported communication hardware devices.
