Fault-Tolerant Sockets transfer a socket from an application in one processor to its backup in another. Only Conventional
TCP/IP supports them.
Unlike previous TCP/IP products, CIP does not use the SLSA subsystem. CIP uses a CLIM instead,
which has higher speed and functionality than any of the SLSA-supported Ethernet adapters.

Previous TCP/IP products also support the multifunction I/O board (MFIOB), which is usually used
for access to the dedicated service LAN. In addition to the five ports shown in Table 2, each CLIM
has a separate port that is used for the dedicated service LAN.
