Third-Generation Data Link Switching from Cisco Scales to Multi-Thousand Router Networks, Is Fully Compatible with DLSw Standard
Third-Generation Data Link Switching from Cisco Scales to
Multi-Thousand Router Networks, Is Fully Compatible with
DLSw Standard
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 14, 1994 -- Cisco Systems has introduced DLSw+,
a third-generation Data Link Switching solution that permits the
construction of any-to-any networks with thousands of routers -- at the
same time maintaining full compatibility with the new DLSw standard and
with the industry's most widely adopted Remote Source-Route Bridging
(RSRB).
Data Link Switching was developed by the Data Link Switching Working
Group of the APPN
(Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking) Implementors' Workshop
(AIW) as a standard method for integrating IBM's SNA and NetBIOS over the
TCP/IP protocol.
DLSw+ offers significantly greater functionality than the two earlier
generations: RFC 1434, a first-generation interim specification that has
been implemented by a number of vendors; and the second-generation DLSw,
which obsoleted RFC 1434 when it was completed by the AIW last month,
adding such key functions as standardized flow control, circuit
prioritization and management.
DLSw+: Interoperability Without Compromise
Nick Francis, Cisco's director of IBM internetworking, said, "The
recently approved DLSw specification is an important achievement because it
establishes baseline functionality and interoperability for integrating SNA
and NetBIOS into routed internetworks ...

Cisco Enhances Remote Access to IBM Hosts with Two New Router Software Features
Cisco Enhances Remote Access to IBM Hosts with Two New
Router Software Features
PARIS, Oct. 26, 1994 -- Cisco Systems has enhanced its
Internetwork
Operating
System (IOS) (IOS) with two new software features that make it
easier
and more cost-effective for workers in branch offices to gain access to IBM
host computers.
Support for IBM's Qualified Logical Link Control (QLLC) protocol, the
mechanism used by SNA devices to connect over an X.25 network, will improve
performance on X.25 backbones and let users consolidate traditional SNA
networks with newer LAN internetworks.
Downstream Physical Unit (DSPU) concentration will allow Cisco routers
to assume the PU definition function normally performed by an SNA LAN
gateway, reducing WAN overhead and simplifying host configuration.
Nick Francis, Cisco's director of IBM internetworking, said, "IBM users
have been looking for ways to expand their remote access capabilities
without adding cost and complexity to the network ...

New Channel Interface Processor from Cisco Creates ATM-Speed Data Path Between Mainframes and Internetworks
New Channel Interface Processor from Cisco Creates ATM-Speed Data Path Between Mainframes and Internetworks
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 10, 1994 -- Cisco Systems has introduced a
high-performance interface processor that provides direct connection at
Asynchronous Transfer Mode [ATM] speeds between IBM mainframe computers and
routed internetworks, eliminating the need for controller equipment that
creates data-path bottlenecks.
The new Channel Interface Processor (CIP), operating in a slot of the
Cisco 7000 or
7010 core router, lets the user choose either or both of
IBM's channel-attachment technologies: the bus-and-tag technology
found on
the majority of installed mainframes, and the state-of-the-art 17-MB/sec
Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON) architecture used on IBM's newer
ES/9000 systems.
Modular technology is used to provide two mainframe connections per
card: one or two ESCON Channel Adapters for users with ES/9000s, one or
two Parallel Channel Adapters for users with legacy bus-and-tag systems, or
one of each for users in the process of migrating between the two ...
