I am making a little progress on a user mode DECnet router that will

but I want to get the basic design right in terms on the network
interfacing.
Can someone tell me how Cisco and Multinet encapsulate DECnet
packets sent over the internet?

  Ciscos can encapsulate DECnet within either GRE or L2TP.

I hope GRE and L2TP aren't too complex. It *looks* like GRE can be
transported over UDP. L2TP looks a bit more complex, but I have skimmed
the Wikipedia page for all of 15 seconds so I may have missed something.

Sorry, just realised that is silly, if I am correct GRE is another protocol
type at the same level as UDP. I was confusing IP with UDP!
