Configuring APPC Communication

Defining Modes and Classes of Service

The lower limit can be 0 or a value from 256 through the upper limit you specify.

If the value in this field is different from the RU size defined for the remote node, the size used for a session with that node can be negotiated to establish an appropriate RU size for the session. The actual value cannot be lower than the lower limit field.

These numbers, together with the send and receive pacing values, can be used to tune the session-level throughput between the local and partner LUs. If you do not know what values to use, start with the default values and adjust them as needed to maximize throughput.

Reset to SNA defined values

If you are modifying a standard mode using the Motif dialog, you can click on this button to reset the values of the mode parameters to the SNA-defined values.
