First, I'd like to thank you for the information, I appreciate it.

I also have some further questions:
1. How do you measure frame sizez? What tool/monitor you use?

2. Why ISL traffic is more disperse - that means - different?
Assuming he ISL is not used for any other traffic but FICON, it should contain exactly the same frames + very small amount of control information. Switch does not rebuild frames. That's theory ;-) Probably you said about practice, measured values.

Hello Radoslaw,

I'm not sure I can help but here is some information that may be useful.

I typically see different average transmit and receive frame sizes during the day (on-line) compared to the evening (batch). I've seen down to 1000 bytes during on-line and around 1700 bytes during batch for DASD. I haven't actually looked only at tape but would expect the average to be higher and consistent.

The ISL average sizes seem to be even more disperse.

John.

What is typical FC frame size in FICON environment?
I guess there are two different answers -  one for disk, the second for
tape.


Background: I would like to estimate number of BB credits needed for
ISL
between two FICON switches.
