does not depend on DECnet or TCP/IP! 

Really?   I thought clustering over ethernet used DECnet. 

Clustering over ethernet uses ethernet phsy/data-link and adds its own
network layer.   Cluster communications over ethernet (LAVC) begin early
in VMS long before DECnet or TCP/IP are ever started.   Recent versions
of VMS for Alphas and Itanium do have a cluster-over-IP option but it's
not a requirement to cluster over ethernet.
