Ah yes, that was it. That is why I use ESCON for 1k messages, and use my ICF for larger messages, since I don't have a FICON CTC set up. The vast majority of the messages in my Sysplex fir in the 1k class.

You are right: http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP100743 "A comparison of these examples shows the ESCON CTCs are slightly faster than the FICON Express CTCs for 1K messages but ESCON is slower when compared to FICON Express 2 as well as the newer ISC3 and ICB4 links."
