[HECnet] Circuit costs

[Steve Davidson]

Hey folks...

LAN costs are 4 by default (for VMS nodes anyway).   If we make use of
that then all we have to touch are the Multinet circuits.   I set my
Multinet circuits to 3 because they are much faster and I would prefer
to use the most "efficient" path possible.   You will loose the ability
to   use SET HOST/LAT, and MOM/MOP, and LAD/LAST, but that should me
minor...

Set all Multinet links to cost 5 in both ends
Set all bridged Ethernet interfaces to 10
Set all Multinet link nodes Level2 Area Routers   

  Well, I like it.   I'll do it if you do it...

  Actually that's a problem with DECnet - everybody _has_ to do their
own;
circuit costs are individually defined per node.
