Summary of Differences Between Conventional
TCP/IP and Parallel Library TCP/IP
The products Parallel Library TCP/IP depends upon are listed in Table 1-3:
Summary of Differences Between
Conventional TCP/IP and Parallel Library
TCP/IP
This section summarizes the differences between conventional TCP/IP and Parallel
Library TCP/IP. It lists the behavioral differences but does not compare the
architectural differences between the two subsystems. (Table 1-1 on page 1-2 provides
a comparison of the architectural components of the two subsystems.)
The following list of differences between conventional TCP/IP and Parallel Library
TCP/IP is alphabetically organized by a keyword that describes the topic.
Cross-references are provided for items that need further explanation.
•
Applications: Subnets are available to all processors eliminating the ability to
isolate applications to specific subnets. See Applications: Restricting to Listen on
Only Some Subnets on page 3-2. Also, there are considerations for applications
that can be spawned in any processor. See the Note on page 4-3.
•
DEFINEs: There are new system DEFINEs. See Configuring Applications to Use
Parallel Library TCP/IP on page 2-2.
•
Errors: Errors are handled differently. See Error Treatment on page 3-4.
