[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] LU6.2 over SOCKETS

chris@SALT.ACC.COM (Chris VandenBerg) (08/07/89)

Morning all,
		I was wondering if anyone has seen/heard of/ knows of a
way to allow LU6.2 communication between two IP hosts using SOCKETS as the
transport mechanism? It certainly doesn't seem like something I'd care to
try but I've had more than a few inquiries about it so there must be interest
somewhere for it. I assume this means two programs that only talk LU6.2
needing to communicate via a TCP socket.
			Thanks in advance,

In general, SNA Services are implemented on top of the IP layer, rather
than the TCP/UDP layer.  This is because SNA has its own transport
mechanisms, including multiplexing of NAUs and LUs streams.

This, of course, includes the LU6.2 (Application level) Host-Host 
facility.
