[HECnet] DAP

[Thomas DeBellis]

I would be surprised if there needed to be any updates to DAP to support 
Phase V as Phase V doesn't change the programming API in a significant 
enough way (if at all) as to require corresponding changes to DAP.

As long as it can make a connection and check connection status, Etc., 
it seems happy enough.   It doesn't talk to the management layer at all, 
as far as I can tell.

There is some Phase II era code, which was put in to allow a kind of 
"poor man's" routing.  Now I would guess that it would only be useful 
for a non-adjacent node to talk to a DN200.

And the Phase V General Description mentions DAP but doesn't give a version number.  The Phase V Routing spec has in the preface a list of the Phase V specs with their order numbers; DAP is not mentioned there.  So it looks like it wasn't touched, which seems plausible.  I don't remember any discussion about it when Phase V was being developed.
