Do you know if SMC-D (or SMC-R) has any instrumentation associated with it? I don't believe Hipersockets did/does. Even traffic.

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> One difference between SMC-R and SMC-D is that I believe SMC-D is available on z13 (GA2) and z13s processors at no additional charge, while SMC-R is a priced feature. This makes the cost of evaluating or even trying out SMC-D a lot lower, given a box that supports it. If I recall correctly, some differences between Hipersockets and SMC-D are the better performance, higher bandwidth, and lower CPU consumption of SMC-D.
