MPCPTP - High Performance Data Transfer (HPDT)
Provides access to TCP/IP hosts through multipath channel point-to-point (MPCPTP) links. MPCPTP supports IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. MPCPTP can be used in two ways to provide direct connectivity to other mainframe hosts running z/OS® Communications Server:
- By using a set of two or more System z® channels
- By configuring to use XCF services, if the System z hosts are part of the same sysplex
MPCPTP can also be used to provide the following connectivity options:
- Direct communication between two z/OS Communications Server TCP/IP Services protocol stacks running on the same MVS™ host without requiring any network attachments
- Connectivity to network attachments such as the IBM 2216 Multiaccess Controller Model 400 or the IBM RS/6000®
