Systems Network Architecture (SNA), IBM's proprietary networking architecture, has reached a position of prominence in the computer industry based on its completeness and its continued support by IBM. SNA's architecture was a primary basis for the OSI Reference Model, which was created a decade after SNA's introduction. SNA has been expanded to accommodate evolution in computer networking and include support for peer-to-peer networks as well as certain standardized network media and protocols.
Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN)
Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking. Enhancement to the original IBM SNA architecture. APPN handles session establishment between peer nodes, dynamic transparent route calculation, and traffic prioritization for APPC traffic.
