That makes sense.  LAVC runs over Ethernet, so any proper extended LAN (bridged network) should work so long as latency and packet loss rates are sane.  All DEC protocols are designed to deal with Ethernet packet loss, of course, but the assumption is that loss rates are low or performance will suffer badly.
