Redbook Abstract
AnyNet: SNA over TCP/IP Installation and Interoperability, GG24-4395-00
  Abstract
This document describes the new implementations of the Multiprotocol Transport Networking (MPTN) architecture on the MVS, OS/2 and and AS/400 platforms. It includes SNA over TCP/IP (MVS/ESA and OS/2) and AnyNet/400 APPC over TCP/IP. They are shipped with the AnyNet/MVS feature of VTAM Version 4 Release 2 for MVS/ESA and as AnyNet/2 OS/2 program products except AnyNet/400 APPC over TCP/IP. AnyNet/400 APPC over TCP/IP is shipped with OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.

This document provides working configurations, definitions and test results. It guides the readers in the planning, methodology, installation and implementation of their first MPTN network.

It is intended for systems engineers, network managers, application designers and technical support personnel who are interested in the implementations of the IBM MPTN architecture.

A basic working knowledge of SNA, TCP/IP and MPTN is assumed. However, this document also provides a brief introduction to these topics.
