Introduction to SNA Networking (McGraw-Hill Series on Computer Communications)

This second edition focuses on the new versions of VTAM and NCP that implement not only traditional SNA, but also are required for implementing APPN. VTAM V4.1 and NCP V6.2 are covered in detail, as are the IBM controllers that can participate in APPN, the internetworking functionality of IBM 3174 Establishment Controllers and IBM 3745 Communications Controllers, and connectivity enhancements to mainframe applications using token-ring and ethernet local area network communications.
