Extended DLUR/APPN support for non-APPN SNA devices

摘要

A system and method for connecting subarea SNA (systems network architecture) peripheral nodes into an APPN (Advanced Peer-to-Peer Network) network such that the peripheral nodes can function in the APPN network without upgrades to their existing software. This method also also enhances the manageability of the peripheral nodes by allowing the representation of the PU (physical unit) to reside in the peripheral node.
