Does anyone have any suggestions or guidlines on selecting a frame size in the definition of hipersockets ? I did read in the zSeries Hipersockets that the default Frame size is 16KB, compared with a maximum of 9KB for a Gigabyte Ethernet. But Hipersockets can also be defined as 24, 40 or 64KB. The selection depends on the data characteristics transported over a Hipersockets, which is a trade-off between performance and storage allocation.
I want the best performance so what information do I need about the data to determine what frame size to define, and how much storage will I use if I define as 64KB ? All I have right now is that a client wants to transfer large amounts of data between z/OS and Linux but I don't have any details about how large. Is this main storage taken out of the total available on the processor or does it require more storage for each lpar to accomidate the hipersocket definitions ? I appreciate any suggestions.
