Redbook Abstract
AS/400 in Multiprotocol Networks, SG24-4522-01
  Abstract
This document addresses the growing trend of multiprotocol networks from an AS/400 perspective. The AS/400 is found more and more in mixed protocol and system environments where interoperability is a major requirement. As networking moves to multiprotocol wide area backbones - supporting all the protocols required by today's variety of applications and systems - the AS/400 is found communicating across these backbones. This redbook will help you to understand the concepts of this new multiprotocol environment in which your AS/400 system resides, and how easily the AS/400 fits in. In an AS/400 dominated situation, understanding the concepts of multiprotocol networking helps you decide what direction the backbone should take, especially as the options available increase. This redbook should help to meet these different needs.
