Figure 1-5. DECnet Phase IV to Phase V Address Mapping
The local Phase IV Prefix and Area fields of the Phase IV-compatible address
make up the Area Address. The Area Address identifies the area in a DECnet
network where a node resides. The High Order and DECnet IV Address fields of
the Phase IV-compatible address make up the System ID. The System ID identifies
a node within an area.
Translating Data Packets
With the DECnet IV to V Transition feature enabled, a router can always translate
a Phase IV data packet to a Phase V CLNP packet. However, there are restrictions
when a router translates a Phase V packet to a Phase IV packet:
• The packet cannot be fragmented.
• The packet must fit the Phase IV maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of
1498 bytes.
