• Directed broadcast CANUREACH and ICANREACH control frames. This
feature reduces broadcasting over the network.
• Capabilities exchange, allowing routers to exchange resource information
about each other. Capabilities exchange flows operate in three categories:
-- Fixed information, such as an organization’s software version
-- Customized information, where one router transfers the information to
another router
-- Negotiation, where routers negotiate the use of proprietary functions (and
only if both routers support the functions under negotiation)
• Rate-based pacing, a new standard for flow control between routers. Flow
control allows a DLSw router to inform another router to slow down or stop
sending data when the receiving buffer(s) fill up. Rate-based flow control uses
a windowing mechanism that allows the routers to send more or fewer
packets, based on the state of the last receive window. If the router
successfully receives the last transmission, it informs the sending router to
continue to send more packets. Flow control is essential for successful
delivery of SNA and NetBIOS data.
DLSw Version 2 Unicast UDP Support
DLSw Version 2 and RFC 2166 are terms that can typically be used
interchangeably. However, Bay Networks refers to DLSw Version 2 slightly
differently. The Bay Networks implementation, called DLSw Version 2, offers
only unicast User Datagram Protocol (UDP) support, while the RFC 2166
implementation provides full multicast support.
Unicast UDP support is provided beginning with BayRS Version 11.02. This
implementation allows:
• The initial session establishment request (CanuReach) to be sent by unicast
UDP (as opposed to using TCP as in RFC 1434 and RFC 1795)
• Peer type configuration (TCP, UDP, and Unknown peers)
• You to configure dual uni-directional or single bi-directional TCP connections
The DLSw RFC Version parameter allows you to set up your configuration for
DLSw Version 2. A router that you configure for DLSw Version 2 can also
communicate with routers running RFC 1434 and RFC 1795 implementations.
