Improving local area network performance

To optimize the iSeries system performance for local area networks (LANs), perform these tasks.

Adjusting LANs for optimum communications performance
Improvements to the input/output processors (IOPs) of the local area network (LAN) include increased central processing unit (CPU) time, IOP capacity, and support of IOP help.
Adjusting LAN lines for optimum communications performance
You can configure these parameters on the line description (LIND) or the controller description (CTLD) to improve system performance.
LAN line speed considerations for IOPs
To prevent possible system performance bottlenecks, you must not overload an input/output processor (IOP) when you configure an iSeries server with communications lines and local area networks (LANs).
