TCP/IPv6 Configuration and Management Manual (G06.24+)

Overview of NonStop TCP/IPv6

High-Level Comparison of the Three NonStop
Server TCP/IP Subsystems
The architecture introduced by the NonStop S-series servers and Integrity NonStop
servers allows all processors in a system to access an adapter. NonStop TCP/IPv6
takes advantage of this architecture by using the communications adapter and the
ServerNet™ cloud to route packets directly to the processor containing the application,
as shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-4.
