APPN: Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking

Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) is an enhancement to the original IBM SNA architecture. APPN, which includes a group of protocols, handles session establishment between peer nodes, dynamic transparent route calculation and traffic prioritization. Using APPN, a group of computers can be automatically configured by one of the computers acting as a network controller so that peer programs in various computers will be able to communicate with each other using specified network routing.
