NonStop TCP/IP, Parallel Library TCP/IP, and
NonStop TCP/IPv6 Subsystem Management
NonStop TCP/IP, Parallel Library TCP/IP, and NonStop TCP/IPv6
Subsystem Management
The TCP/IP products support Distributed Systems Management (DSM). They also
support a programmatic interface. The NonStop TCP/IP products report critical errors
or other abnormal conditions to the Event Management Service (EMS).
TCP/IP Application Example
Figure 10-2 on page 10-8 is an application example that shows how a trucking
company might use TCP/IP products to monitor the locations and status of its trucks.
UNIX workstations on LANs display current data overlaid on detailed maps. The maps
are stored on file servers in the LAN; the current locations and status of trucks are
recorded in an HP NonStop SQL database on the NonStop S-series server. The
sockets interface of the TCP/IP products support cooperative processing between the
workstations and the NonStop S-series server. Because the database is on the
NonStop S-series server, it is available and reflects the current state of the trucking
operation at all times.
