The most authoritative, up-to-date guide to APPN and HPR―straight from IBM!

Inside APPN and HPR is the most complete, up-to-date sourcebook for leveraging the power of APPN in today's high-speed, networked, client/server environments.

This book presents up-to-date, detailed coverage of IBM's latest APPN specification, including topology enhancements and other essential new capabilities. It also includes in-depth, systematic coverage of High Performance Routing (HPR), IBM's third-generation SNA protocol. Discover how HPR combines the best attributes of connection-oriented SNA and APPN with those of connectionless IP, adding advanced congestion control to deliver state-of-the-art performance.

Inside APPN and HPR covers all the APPN basics you need to understand, including:

• APPN and LEN node structures
• Address space management
• Configuration services
• Routing and directory services
• Session services, border nodes and dependent LU support

Learn how APPN networks may be managed from SNMP platforms or via NetView VTAM CMIP services. See how APPN traffic can run on ATM networks, supporting ATM Quality of Service classes and congestion control.

More than 80% of IBM's installed base is moving from traditional SNA to APPN and HPR protocols. If you're a network planner, engineer or manager in one of these organizations, Inside APPN and HPR is the one book that can help you get the job done.
