APPN Networking Overview

APPN is an architectural extension of IBM Systems Network Architecture (SNA).

As participants in an SNA network, APPN nodes use distributed network services

for dynamic routing, connection, topology, and directory information, simplifying

network definition and maintenance.

Nortel Networks routers participate as APPN network nodes in IBM SNA

network environments (with or without the presence of an IBM mainframe

computer) and communicate with adjacent network nodes, end nodes, and

low-entry networking nodes. APPN runs on all Nortel Networks router platforms

using local and wide area network facilities, as follows:

• LLC2 media, including Ethernet, token ring, and frame relay

• LLC2 using Source Routing Bridge (SRB) encapsulation formats over

Ethernet, FDDI, SMDS, frame relay, and Point-to-Point (PPP) protocols

• SDLC links in point-to-point and multipoint configurations

The Nortel Networks APPN implementation complies with Version 2 of the IBM

APPN Network Node specification, with advanced optional APPN function sets.

APPN Node Types

APPN supports the following node types:

• Network nodes

• End nodes

• Low-entry networking nodes
