I am, however, curious about "there's nothing to show that OS/400 has caught
up yet". In 1995-1996 I lived through TCP/IP hell - mostly in the print
arena. I had thought that OS/400's TCP/IP implementation had made it by
now, but I'm not using much more than AS/400 printing, LPR/LPD and FTP.
What are OS/400's TCP/IP shortcomings?
While not strictly TCP/IP (but rather just IP), the iSeries does not
have many of the advanced routing features of other OSes. Filtering,
masquerading, port forwarding, etc. Of course it begs the question:
does the iSeries really need those things? It doesn't bother me - use a
router for that stuff.
However, the performance of TCP/IP on iSeries doesn't seem too good.
But without firm benchmarks, it's hard to know. Is it the IP stack that
is slow, or is the system generally slow? I base this simply on the
fact that my iSeries doesn't push traffic onto the wire as quickly as
some of my other systems as measured by watching a clock.
