RE: SNA over IP (Anynet) Versus Native SNA

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We went from a 56k SDLC CSU/DSU to Frame Relay.  We had to put in the FR for
other applications so I started to use it for our SNA and disconnected the
expensive 56k PTP connection.  Once I change our two local machines to use
*ANYNET for the remote site, I change them to use *ANYNET on the local LAN
with is 100TX.  I did not see a performance hit on SNA between the local
machines and this was done back on V4R4.  We are now on V5R1/V5R3.  I do not
think *ANYNET really puts much of a load on the CPU but is handled on the
Ethernet adapter.  New adapters cannot do the SNA any more.

Chris,
When you switched from raw SNA to *Anynet, was it because you went from a 
10/100 line to a 1gb line?  If so, and you didn't see much of a 
difference, wouldn't that be sad?  Or was this because you had the same 
external communications (comm line) bottleneck?
