David,
I don't know enough about Decnet to help you but be
wary when sniffing that the MAC address that the
sniffer picks up is different than what you would
expect. Decnet uses an algorithm to convert the "real"
MAC address to another.
Also I seem to remember a lot of munticasting takes
place 1st bytes being 0xAA and 0xAB.
Regards,
Phil.
