<h3 id="rzajthpr-ref">High-performance routing</h3>
|
|
<p>High-Performance Routing (HPR) is the evolution of Advanced Peer-to-Peer
|
|
Networking® (APPN). HPR enhances APPN data routing performance and reliability,
|
|
especially when using higher-speed lower-error links.</p>
|
|
<p>To support high-speed communications facilities, certain changes to the
|
|
APPN architecture are required. These are necessary to allow switching in
|
|
intermediate nodes to be done at a lower layer and to enable faster switching
|
|
than in base APPN support. HPR changes the existing APPN intermediate session
|
|
routing by using automatic network routing (ANR), which maximizes the storage
|
|
and processing requirement in intermediate nodes. Each outbound packet has
|
|
a predetermined path through the network so that intermediate routing nodes
|
|
need not remember anything about HPR sessions that flow through them. Intermediate
|
|
routing nodes in HPR simply route data that is based on information that is
|
|
contained within the packet itself.</p>
|

<p><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><span class="bold">Enterprise Extender (SNA over IP networks using
|
|
HPR)</span><img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
|
<p><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Enterprise Extender is a networking architecture that allows
|
|
Systems Network Architecture (SNA) applications to run over Internet Protocol
|
|
(IP) networks using High Performance Routing (HPR). This is the preferred
|
|
way to run SNA applications over IP networks with communications input/output
|
|
adapters (IOAs), such as Gigabit Ethernet, since these IOAs do not require
|
|
an input/output processor (IOP) and, therefore, do not natively support SNA. IBM® recommends
|
|
that Enterprise Extender be used in place of AnyNet®.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
|
<p><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Enterprise Extender utilizes the following HPR option sets:
|
|
1401, 1402, 2006, and 2009. These option sets, as well as 1400, are described
|
|
below.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
|
<p><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The HPR function can operate under a base architecture, or can
|
|
operate under the base architecture plus options. There are performance capabilities
|
|
available under the <span class="italic">Tower RTP</span> (Rapid Transport Protocol)
|
|
option not available with the base. See the following for a more thorough
|
|
explanation of what architecture option is appropriate for you.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><span class="bold">HPR-base option</span> (option set 1400): Its primary function
|
|
is to provide automatic network routing (ANR). Products that only use this
|
|
function can participate as intermediate nodes in one or more Rapid Transport
|
|
Protocol (RTP) connections. This type of implementation cannot be an endpoint
|
|
of an RTP connection. An addition to the base option is HPR link-level error
|
|
recovery. A system that supports high-speed links does not always require
|
|
link-level error recovery. It is optional because when link-level error recovery
|
|
is eliminated, faster communications might occur when using high-quality data
|
|
transmission.</li>
|
|
<li><span class="bold">RTP Tower option</span> (option set 1401): Implementations
|
|
that support this option can act as an endpoint and are able to transport
|
|
logical-unit to logical-unit session (LU-LU-session) session traffic across
|
|
HPR networks by using Rapid Transport Protocol (RTP) connections. An RTP connection
|
|
can only be made between two systems that support RTP. That is, there can
|
|
only be a mix of systems in a given RTP connection's path through the network
|
|
(systems that only support the HPR base option and systems that support the
|
|
HPR tower option). However, there is the stipulation that <span class="italic">at least</span> the two end points in the path support the HPR tower option.
|
|
Otherwise, APPN is used.

<div class="notetitle" id="wq2">Note:</div>
|
|
<div class="notebody">An implementation that has the RTP
|
|
Tower option also supports the base option. These systems can run as intermediate
|
|
systems in the path.</div></li>
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><span class="bold">Control Flows over RTP Tower option</span> (option
|
|
set 1402): This option causes control-point to control-point sessions (CP-CP
|
|
sessions) and route setup messages to flow over special RTP connections. CP-CP
|
|
sessions are established between adjacent node pairs and are used to broadcast
|
|
topology flows to the entire network so that every node has the topology for
|
|
the entire network stored in its topology database. <span class="italic">Route
|
|
setup messages</span> are request and reply messages that are used to obtain
|
|
information about a route over which an RTP connection will be established.
|
|
The route setup request is sent by the origin node to the destination node
|
|
over the exact route that is to be used. It stops at each intermediate node
|
|
along the way to gather information associated with the forward path. The
|
|
route setup reply is returned by the destination node after receiving the
|
|
route setup request. The reply follows the same path as the request (in the
|
|
reverse direction) and stops at each intermediate node along the way to gather
|
|
information about the reverse path. When the origin node receives the reply
|
|
it uses the information to establish a new RTP connection or reroute an existing
|
|
one.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><span class="bold">Logical Data Link Control (LDLC) Support option</span> (option set 2006): LDLC is a Logical Link Control (LLC) type defined
|
|
to be used with HPR networks in conjunction with the Control Flows over RTP
|
|
Tower option (option set 1402) over reliable links that do not require link-level
|
|
error recovery. LDLC is only used for Enterprise Extender links.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><span class="bold">Native IP Data Link Control (DLC) option</span> (option
|
|
set 2009): Native IP is a DLC option used with option sets 1400, 1401, 1402,
|
|
and 2006 to allow you to take advantage of APPN/HPR functions such as class
|
|
of service (COS) and adaptive rate based flow/congestion control in the IP
|
|
environment. This option set contains the support for Enterprise Extender
|
|
links.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li></ul><img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" />
