The books say "All SRB-based processing in stack" can be done on a zIIP, depending on what level of zOS
If you are doing IPSEC (SSL encryption), you will be using a lot of CPU time in stack. It could justify zIIP or two to offload the IPSEC work Steve Finch -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Marshall Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 8:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: zIIPs and TCP/IP usage Right now I am looking at zIIPs and zAAPs planning for some new z196s. One area of interest is I read zIIPs can offload some of my TCP/IP work. What are people seeing as what is being offloaded within TCP/IP and how much. Just from a high level is this any load of significance I could expect or is it relatively low. Say for instance I did not have any DB2 or XML, then has anyone just got the zIIP because of TCP/IP. I am discounting JAVA workload out of the picture to keep away from the discussion of doing zIIPzAAPs and combining the two. So just for the sake of this discussion say I have no JAVA workload either. Be interested in others actual experiences. jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
