This second edition focuses on the new versions of VTAM and NCP that implement not only traditional SNA, but also are required for implementing APPN. VTAM V4.1 and NCP V6.2 are covered in detail, as are the IBM controllers that can participate in APPN, the internetworking functionality of IBM 3174 Establishment Controllers and IBM 3745 Communications Controllers, and connectivity enhancements to mainframe applications using token-ring and ethernet local area network communications.
This text discusses the problems of ATM integration into large corporate systems currently managing multiprotocol-based networks. It is intended for network professionals who are integrating ATM into networks running on such protocols as TCP/IP, SNA and APPN in order to enhance transmission of data, video and sound - whilst protecting vital business-dependant data which must remain secure and reliable. The book offers technical detail on principles of ATM traffic management, signalling and routing, which should leave the reader with a detailed understanding of effective and protective ATM integration.
This guide summarizes the latest in Internet Protocol switching technology, which routes Internet traffic faster and more efficiently. It is a growing solution to the universal need of increased bandwidth. There is an explanation of the underlying technology and a complete analysis of offfering from such vendors as Cisco, Ipsilon, IBM and Toshiba. The book: shows how to quickly implement IP switching into an existing network; reveals how to integrate it with IPv6, ATM, Gigabit routers, virtual routers; and covers IP multicasting, multiprotocol over ATM (MPOA).
