I guess the folk who created it do! Perhaps the question you wanted to ask is the following: "Would someone please describe what protocols are used by the ISPF WSA?" Well, I have lived a sheltered life so I'm not familiar with the WSA - but I do know a thing or two about searching for information in the z/OS online library. Starting here z/OS V1R13.0 elements and features bookshelves http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/zshelves13.html under All z/OS V1R13.0 Base Elements, Optional Features - 672 books I entered "ISPF Workstation Agent" (without quotes) in "Search text". There were in effect 3 hits since both V1R11 and V1R13 manual were presented. In Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) User's Guide Volume I, I quickly discovered that Appendices A and B covered the topic and in Appendix B the relevant protocols - plural! - were exposed as follows: - TCP/IP - APPC (APPC/MVS) The former covers TCP as "transport" over IP as "network". I only discovered for sure that the "transport" was TCP - rather than UDP - because there is discussion of the "keepalive" function. The latter implies SNA supporting LU type 6.2. QED!
