Process Architecture Considerations

Also easy to manage, but with higher capacity, is one APLMGR process with multiple

initiators and/or responders, and one OSI/AS subsystem, as shown in Figure 3-2.

The highest-capacity configuration, and the one with the best performance for each

FTAM process, consists of multiple APLMGR processes, each with a single initiator or

responder and an OSI/AS subsystem, as shown in Figure 3-3

on page 3-5. However, this

configuration is also more complex to manage.
