We have some large batch FTP processes that were recently identified as the cause of major network slowdowns for online processing. More specifically, one of our CIP routers becomes a bottleneck when batch FTP jobs start flooding it.
We are working on a process to ensure that particular FTP batch processes are run on a system that will not affect the problem router. IFAIR, VTAM has/had pacing options that could help manage just this sort of situation. Does FTP or TCPIP have a similar capability? I found nothing in the FTP configuration about throttling or pacing. Maybe someone else has run into a similar situation. How did or would you deal with this situation? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
