Yes John, this is APPN over IP Enterprise Extender Pipes. You have summarized my initial posting nicely. My detective and logic skills have led me to the same conclusion. My system is being used to connect the NODEB and NODEC systems. While we all know this is true based on inference, I have no proof, report, or other smoking gun that I can take to an outside agency as proof this is how it is happening. (Think, really clueless auditors)
I need some sort of verifyable proof in the form of VTAM displays and the like that shows how this routing is being performed in the active systems, How did NodeB select NodeA to find NodeC. What hosts are involved from end to end. You can get some of this if you are one of the end nodes (nodeb or nodec) via analysis of the RTP links. With all of the host hop counts and intermediate hosts. I need to find something that can be done on the intermediate host (nodea) that shows "SEE, this is how I am being used" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
