<h1 class="topictitle1">TCP/IP routing and workload balancing</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Are you looking for better ways to route and balance the TCP/IP
|
||
|
|
traffic of your iSeries™ server?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Your iSeries server
|
||
|
|
can be used for many things, but you should also know that its integrated
|
||
|
|
routing capabilities can eliminate the need for an external router by connecting
|
||
|
|
TCP/IP networks.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The routing and workload balancing methods as well as the background information
|
||
|
|
will help you understand the options available for you to use on your iSeries server.
|
||
|
|
Each method is described using a figure so that you can see how the connections
|
||
|
|
are made. These methods do not include instructions on configuring these routing
|
||
|
|
techniques. The focus of this topic is on the routing principles and concepts
|
||
|
|
you should know so your iSeries server works better for you.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Why are these methods important to you?</h4><p>The techniques
|
||
|
|
in these methods might cut down the overall cost of your connections because
|
||
|
|
you can use fewer external routers and servers. Using these routing methods,
|
||
|
|
you can free up IP addresses because you will learn how to manage them in
|
||
|
|
a more effective way. By reading the workload balancing methods, you can get
|
||
|
|
better overall iSeries server
|
||
|
|
performance by balancing the communications workload on your system.</p>
|
||
|

</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">What if I want to print these topics?</h4><p>You can easily
|
||
|
|
print this topic and read it as one document. Just follow the instructions
|
||
|
|
in the Printable PDF topic.</p>
|
||
|

</div>
|

|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Before you start</h4><p>If you are new to routing and workload
|
||
|
|
balancing on iSeries server,
|
||
|
|
you might want to look at these topics before you begin looking at the methods:</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>TCP/IP
|
||
|
|
routing functions by release contain information about the routing functions
|
||
|
|
available on each version and release of the iSeries server so that you know which
|
||
|
|
functions are available for you to use.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Packet processing shows you
|
||
|
|
how a packet of information is processed by your iSeries server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>General routing
|
||
|
|
rules give you some basic rules for iSeries server routing. You should consider
|
||
|
|
these rules while you are reading the routing methods.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">How do I know which method to use?</h4><p>Many different
|
||
|
|
methods are available to you. You can make your own decisions and apply these
|
||
|
|
methods to your own network situation:</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>TCP/IP routing connectivity methods
|
||
|
|
give you a better understanding of how your iSeries server is capable of routing
|
||
|
|
data.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>TCP/IP workload balancing methods help you understand different
|
||
|
|
TCP/IP techniques that can be used to balance the communications workload
|
||
|
|
of your iSeries server.</p>
|
||
|
|

|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Want more information about iSeries server TCP/IP routing?</h4><p>Other

information about TCP/IP routing and workload balancing contains additional
|

|
|
reference information related to TCP/IP routing and workload balancing.</p>
