Parallel Library TCP/IP Architecture and Features
Parallel Library TCP/IP Architecture and Features
Parallel Library TCP/IP is a NonStop TCP/IP product that provides increased
performance and scalability. Parallel Library TCP/IP coexists with NonStop TCP/IP on
NonStop S-series servers. Parallel Library TCP/IP supports Ethernet 4 ServerNet
adapters (E4SAs), Fast Ethernet ServerNet adapters (FESAs), Gigabit Ethernet
ServerNet adapters (GESAs), and Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapters
(G4SAs).
Parallel Library TCP/IP takes advantage of the NonStop S-Series server architecture,
which makes it possible for all processors in a system to access an adapter. Parallel
Library TCP/IP uses the communications adapter and the ServerNet cloud to route
packets directly to the processor containing the application. By directly routing packets
