RE: IOCMETH01 tasks

FYI - called IBM on these IOCMETH01 tasks.

They are basically system tasks for the ethernet interfaces.
IO/CM/ETH01 where ETH01 = the name of the line we're using to run a
high-quantity data transfer with 500+ connections simultaneously. 

Thought you'd like to know.

Subject: IOCMETH01 tasks

Good afternoon, all -

Seeing a couple tasks called IOCMETH01 on one of our systems while
running a moderately heavy ODBC load against a database.  Reminds me a
lot of the CFINT jobs, as it is taking a lot of CPU (4-5x more than any
of the QZDASOINIT jobs - around 5% each).  It also has no username
associated and a job number of "00020C"  Any ideas what these tasks are
doing?  I'm thinking IO = IO, and METH should be something about method,
but I have no clue.  Premium Google support yielded nothing.  It's been
a long time since I've seen Google pull nothing.

Ideas?
