The spec is also confused because "adjacent nodes" isn't defined on non-routing nodes; the only adjacency they have is the designated router.  I'm assuming it wasn't the intent for this to show the "on-NI cache", I don't remember seeing anyone do that.

SHOW ACTIVE NODES on both RSX and VMS does the equivalent of SHOW EXECUTOR SUMMARY followed by all the other “active” nodes. I don’t think anyone used the “on-NI cache” but it looks as though both RSX and VMS keep a cache of recently computed round-trip delays and use that for “adjacent nodes”.
