The demise of SNA has always been predicted but will not be till IBM says so.

From the article:

The first numbers of your credit card is usually a SNA routing sequence.

Really? Can we have a cite for this?


On a SNA based VISANET Take a TranScan a PC-based intelligent protocol monitor and analyzer designed to support Credit Card, Debit Card, Bank Card and Financial Transaction Processors press B to show message routing and usually it is your credit card number

2003-sep-13. Starting from version 5.2 of IBM OS400, SNA for client-access is no longer supported


[edit] Advantages and Disadvantages

I have added this section to replace the original second paragraph. The original paragraph didn't make any sense to me. The article could use a paragraph on writing applications to use SNA/VTAM (particularly to communicate with other programs). Said paragraph should follow the enumeration of LU types.

[edit] Network Control Program

I decided not to make Network Control Program a wiki link. Problem is that existing article describes the ARPANET NCP and says nothing about IBM's use of the same term in SNA.Rdmoore6 19:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
