TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities for AS/400, 5769-TC1

TCP/IP is fundamental to the new network computing paradigm. Much of the new AS/400
e-business infrastructure runs exclusively on TCP/IP including Lotus Domino, Java, Web
serving, and IBM Network Stations. The AS/400 system has excellent TCP/IP support built
into its operating system. Recent AS/400 TCP/IP enhancements make the AS/400 system an
even more powerful e-business server. TCP/IP has become an extremely popular protocol
and can be regarded as the de facto standard for computer networking.
The AS/400 system ships with a complete and robust suite of TCP/IP protocols, servers, and
services. TCP/IP is an internationally standardized protocol. TCP/IP and its constituent
protocols are standardized by the Internet Architecture Board. The standards specifications
are provided in documents called Request for Comments (RFCs). There are hundreds of
RFCs available today. The AS/400 system conforms to the appropriate RFCs.
