Control Points and Logical Units
APPN uses control points (CPs) to manage nodes and network resources by
establishing CP-CP sessions between nodes. All CP-CP sessions use logical unit
(LU) 6.2 sessions.
During a CP-CP session (Figure 1-2
), adjacent nodes exchange network
information. Network nodes use CP-CP sessions to keep track of the network
topology and directory information. Adjacent end nodes use CP-CP sessions to
register resources and to request directory searches from the NNS.
Figure 1-2. CP-CP and LU-LU Sessions
In Figure 1-2, APPN.C registers its local resources with APPN.B, and sends
requests to APPN.B for information about the network and its resources. APPN.B
functions as an NNS for APPN.C.
APPN.B has CP-CP sessions with both APPN.A and APPN.C. In this example,
APPN.A and APPN.B exchange network topology and cooperate in directory
searches.
