From the Book:PREFACE: This redbook gives a mid-level description of the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) architecture. It provides a tutorial on the APPN architectural functions, how the different functional components work together, and a summary of APPN implementations in IBM products. This enables the reader to fully understand how APPN works, how it differs from other networking solutions (for example, TCP/IP), and which IBM products have implemented APPN functions. This knowledge can be used to make decisions on future networking strategy, to help in the design and planning of APPN networks, and to aid in the understanding of functioning networks. This revision includes updated chapters on high-performance routing (HPR) and Adaptive Rate Based flow/congestion control (ARB) that describe recent changes to APPN architecture to more efficiently route data through high-speed networks. Also, the extended border node (EBN), branch extender (Bx), dependent LU requester/server (DLUR), and native ATM DLC for HPR functions are described in detail.
