[Info-vax] Networking Benchmarks

[Bill Gunshannon]

Has anyone ever done any benchmarking of TCPIP vs. DECNET under
VMS?  It seems that there should be less overhead and therefore
greater throughput using DECNET.

Why am I asking this?  I have been thinking about some
of the uses of networking in systems where there are
backend/middleware/frontend architectures and the idea
that DECNET actually has a valuable place in this kind
of architecture struck me.  Now I am looking for data
to back the idea up.  if I am right in my thinking, could
be a real good reason to revive projects to run DECNET
on non-VMS systems as well.
