"HOME" was not in UNIX TCP so z/OS is the only doc available. There is in fact
many features that were (and probably still are) specific to z/OS (e.g. HOME,
VIPA, port balancing, port forwarding, sysplex workload balancing and much
more). z/OS needed a more robust TCP because of sysplex. Linux, Windows, Unix
and others are single machines with unique resources. For instance, DB2 on z/OS
can be accessed from any z/OS within a sysplex but DB2 on Linux is available
from a single machine which cannot be transferred to another Linux.

Obligatory salt dose taken.

Would you please elaborate on that statement?

Agreed. Having a clear explanation of what a feature does is required
to be able to compare features, even if the nomenclature therefor differs.
