Just like HP-UX 10.20 and 11.00, as shipped. :-P At least patches are
available.
Other than that, we had no trouble making a transition to a subnet-zero
network at my day job (one or two of every major UNIX variant on the
market, along with three to four years worth of back-supported versions,
and the major Win32 variants). (Network gear is all Cisco, and all
up-to-date enough to deal with the layout, so I can't report anything
regarding unusual network infrastructure.)
