HP UX SNAplus2 manual Portion of a Sample Appn Network

SNA Terms and Concepts

Basic APPN Concepts

•Network nodes (see “APPN Network Nodes”)

•End nodes (see “APPN End Nodes”)

In addition, low-entry networking (LEN) nodes can be connected to an APPN network, but they do not use APPN features (see “LEN Nodes”).

A sample APPN network that includes all of these node types is shown in Figure 1-4, “Portion of a Sample APPN Network.”

Figure 1-4 Portion of a Sample APPN Network

This example shows an APPN network that includes five network nodes (NNs), three end nodes (ENs), and a LEN node. The network nodes form the backbone of the APPN network; end nodes access the network through the network nodes. LU 6.2 TPs on any node can communicate with any other LU 6.2 TPs in the network.
