In the March 2008 Redbook title "System Programmer's Guide to: Workload Manager" it has a section that reads:
---- 3.6.3 zSeries Application Assist Processor (zAAP) The benefits of using a zAAP processor to execute Java code are saving CPU cycles in IP stacks and in the firewalls due to the connectivity simplification. ---- I understand the JVM is the only authorized zAAP user. Does the above part from the manual imply that the IP stack and firewalls are written in JAVA, thus the CPU savings? And, what is the connectivity simplification being referenced?
