Synopsis

In spite of early predictions, it is increasingly clear that mainframes are not going away and that SNA will continue to consume the bulk of networking budgets. This volume addresses issues relating to SNA TCP/IP interoperability and integration, in 21 chapters, divided into three sections: tutorials, SNA interoperability today, and emerging solutions.

About this title

Synopsis:

This guide to internetworking networks is based on IBM's SNA (System Network Architecture) protocol. Over 70,000 SNA networks carry 75% of the worldwide corporate data communications. In an era of open systems and interoperability, it is crucial for this most dominant of proprietary protocols - SNA - to be able to interoperate with protocols in non-SNA environments, especially TCP/IP, IPX, NetBIOS, and DECnet. Topics covered include SNA and TCP/IP compared, how different network architectures relate to SNA, migration profiles from SNA to multiprotocol environments, and standards and politics.
