RE: Death of SNA?

WAN & LAN protocols, April 2005

The i5/OS operating system has long term support and development plans for 
many key industry WAN and LAN protocols. These include TCP/IP, PPP, Async, 
Bisync, Ethernet, and APPN via Enterprise Extender. i5/OS has both 
short-term and mid-term support plans for SDLC, SNA, X.25 and Frame Relay. 
IBM plans to continue providing i5/OS support for SDLC, SNA, X.25 and 
Frame Relay in V5R3 and in the release after V5R3. IBM recommends that 
customers start moving off these protocols prior to IBM's eventual 
withdrawal of support. i5/OS releases introduced after mid-2007 may not 
include support for these protocols.

RE: Death of SNA?






Rob, does this include Anynet as well?  (sorry, no time to read the
article).
While we run most comms over TCP/IP, we still are using some SNA 
internally
between a few systems.  To say that it always works is an understatement.

Claims that the release after V5R3 will be the last to support SNA.
