Networking Performance Improvements: Benefits

Improved TCP/IP performance

How Delivered

• Re-architected TCP data path offloads compute

functions to the firmware environment

• Leverages offload functions built into NICs

• Actual performance will vary depending on

Message size

Number of data streams

Various other factors

How

Experienced

• Reduced MIPS consumption

• Reduced elapsed time for large data transfers

• Somewhat lower latency



Improved BNA Performance

How Delivered

• New BNA over TCP service enables BNA to take

advantage of the re-architected TCP data path

• Faster than BNA over IP and native BNA

When Realized

• A BNA over TCP connection is automatically

negotiated when

- Two MCP systems are connected via BNA

over IP

and

- Both systems are running the new networking

software

How Experienced• Native File Transfer elapsed time will be reduced by

almost as much as TCP/IP



Simplified TCP/IP Configuration

How Delivered
