[HECnet] Same MAC address on different nodes

[Hans Vlems]

You are absolutely correct, however what you see happening is strange.
OK, I got the OS wrong. Because VMS and RT-11    are all I need :-)
That said, it should work. I'm not sure how RSX handled area routing but    30 years ago we were warned to configure endnodes because ALL the overhead incurred by circuit routers...

Anyway, i'd stop using the same 08-00-2B address on two nodes, shutdown the simulators the VM host and the real iron.

No need to apologize :)


Background for the request: I had problems running two area routers 
on the same lan, though just one was simh based. Both were VMS 
though.

By running complex software under emulation, we take risks that 
things don't work as expected. By adding a layer more with 
virtualization, I take still more risks. What is amazing is that it 
works most of the time.
