3865.0. "decnet plus v7.1 - decnet osi v6.3 eco 6" by 56724::ROSCOE () Mon Feb 10 1997 22:48

    How does DECnet Plus V7.1 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 compare to 
    DECnet OSI V6.3 ECO6 Alpha VMS in functionality.  Are the two
    versions functionally equivalent including bug fixes?
    
    thanks

    I would think not.  7.0 and 7.1 both added new features which are
    	typically not included in ECO for previous releases.  7.1 includes
    	host based routing which I would expect is not in 6.3 ECO*.

3865.2V6.3 ECO6 has similar V7.1 fixesBULEAN::TAYLORSun Feb 23 1997 13:3813
    
    V6.3 ECO6 does include bug fixes that were included
    in V7.1 SSB if applicable. These versions are
    bug fix equavalents.  As Pete indicated, there is
    new functionality in V7.1, ie. Host Based Routing,
    which is not included in V6.3 ECO6.
    
    DECdns ECO70 changes for the clerk were included in
    V7.1 SSB.  The ECO70 DECdns server changes were not
    completed in time and were therefore not included in
    V7.1 SSB.
