摘要:
The substantially simultaneous tracing/monitoring of a plurality of sets of events via a single network interface. The plurality of events can be traced and/or monitored for one host or for a plurality of hosts coupled via the same network interface. The sets of events to be traced/monitored for a host are defined by the host and maintained in one or more configuration files. The configuration files may be dynamically updated.

摘要:
An apparatus for providing direct data processing access in a network computing system environment. The system environment has a main storage which can be connected to one or more application servers and is in processing communication with an interface element. The interface element has at least one adapter and can be connected to one or more application user(s). One or more queues are established in the main storage that can handle data without causing interrupts in the running programs. Incoming data is received using the adapter and as data is received or modified, the status of the network computing system will be updated to reflect the new data or change. Data is then processed in the main storage after interrogating the multiple existing queues in the main storage simultaneously and forwarding them in turn to their appropriate destination or application server after a determination has been made by interrogating these queues.

A facility is provided to allow for dynamic configuration of data routing between TCP/IP stacks of multiple partitions of a multi-partition processing system and a network adapter such as a local area network (LAN) gateway for the multi-partition processing system. The facility includes a command for automatically providing the network adapter with information that a particular partition of the processing system is to function as a router; and using the information at the network adapter to forward data received across the network to the partition when the data is to an unregistered HOME internet protocol (IP) address. The forwarding of data to the router partition occurs without any conventional IP processing.

In a mainframe class data processing system having multiple logical partitions and a port to a network, a host-network interface is established for reducing network overhead at the multiple partitions. The host-network interface includes, for example, a host channel connection coupling the multiple partitions of the host system to a communications adapter having a network device driver for each network coupled to the adapter. The adapter also includes an address resolution protocol (ARP) cache designed to hold predetermined media headers for the clients coupled to the network(s) for use in forwarding an internet protocol (IP) datagram across the network to one of the clients from a partition of the host system. If not predetermined, the adapter is provided with a capability to dynamically determine the needed media header for transmission of the IP datagram across the network to the client. In Ethernet format, this dynamically determining includes forwarding an Ethernet 802.3 ARP request and an Ethernet DIX ARP request from the IP datagram. Provision is also made for partition-to-partition communication of IP datagrams by storing IP addresses of the logical partitions as HOME addresses in the ARP cache of the adapter.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for error detection in a network computing system having a main storage capable of connecting to at least one application server and an interface element with at least one adapter capable of establishing processing communication with at least one application user(s). Data is transferred across the interface element to and from the main storage. The main storage includes a queuing mechanism providing a plurality of queuing components having attributes of devices to and from which data is to be transferred or received as well as information about the queuing mechanism itself. As part of the queuing component, providing a Storage-List-State Block (SLSB) having state indicators that provide state information about a plurality of buffers that make up each queue. A plurality of Error States is defined for by the SLSB Status Block. These Error States are set in the SLSB each time the interface element detects errors in the data stream. By monitoring the number of the errors for a specified time period, it can be determining as whether a session needs to be terminated or kept active.
