Re: LU 6.2 without a 3745?

[David Boyes]

VM/VTAM doesn’t do EE, and CCL would either a) burn CPU on the std engine side, or b) burn CPU on an IFL, which we don’t know if he has (and is still $125K). In either case (a or b), those CPU cycles are pretty pricy.   As Alan said, native APPN would also be an option, and VM/VTAM does do that. Using that, you could offload the routing function (and thus the extra CPU consumption) to an outboard router box, but adding a completely new protocol, router software load (to support SNA protocols), and routing infrastructure seems kind of overkill for one link.   David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Ray Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 5:16 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: LU 6.2 without a 3745?   Have you check into Enterprise Extender or CCL (Communications Controller for Linux) emulated 3745
