I'm not sure if this is applicable, but (at a former job) we were considering using opticonnect (FDDI) to tie into the LAN. This was never implemented there due to $$$ concerns, but it seemed an effective way to get some increased bandwidth to the AS400..... eric.delong@pmsi-services.com ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Advantages of Multiple NIC cards in AS/400 Author: <MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com > at INET_WACO Date: 1/15/99 1:49 AM Greetings, What would be the advantages/disadvantages of using multiple Network Adapter cards in the AS/400 in an Ethernet (TCP/IP) environment? A client is using a C/S application that stores large binary files on the AS/400. There is concern of overloading the Adapter card as the usage of the application increases. We are wondering if anyone has used multiple cards, and how to "dynamically" balance the load? The AS/400 has plenty of capacity (average 30% CPU utilization), there is just this mnagging concenr about the traffic load. Any thoughts or comments?
