The IBM communication group was fiercely fighting off client/server and distributed computing and trying to block mainframe TCP/IP release. When that got overturned they changed their tactic and claimed that since they had corporate strategic responsibility for everything that crossed datacenter walls, it had to be release through them. What shipped got aggregate 44kbytes/sec using nearly whole 3090 processor. It was also made available on MVS by doing MVS VM370 "diagnose" instruction simulation. I then do RFC1044 implementation and in some tuning tests at Cray Research between Cray and IBM 4341, get 4341 sustained channel throughput using only modest amount of 4341 CPU (something like 500 times improvement in bytes moved per instruction executed). In the 90s, the IBM communication group hires a silicon contractor to implement tcp/ip support directly in VTAM, what he demo'ed had TCP running much faster than LU6.2. He was then told that everybody knows that LU6.2 is much faster than a "proper" TCP/IP implementation and they would only be paying for a "proper" implementation. -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970
