SNAplus2 Node Types

SNAplus2 R7 supports the following additional node types:

• Network Node

SNAplus2 can now operate as a Network Node, End Node or, a Len

Node depending on its conﬁguration. It takes full advantage of the

APPN facilities including dynamic conﬁguration and resource

location.

• Branch Network Node (uses Branch Extender)

SNAplus2 combines the functions of both Network Node and End

Node. The Branch Network Node helps subdivide a network into a

backbone network and attached branch networks.
