VCTCA SNA protocol requires VTAM for POWER PNETTING. Is VTAM more efficient
than TCP/IP?

If you can work with VCTCA, then that is the way to go.

Biggest reason, lower overhead.  You are communicating over "hardware".
With the IP method, you have multiple IP stacks that you have to drive with
your 390 processor(s).

I have several VSE under z/VM and PNET files around the VSE's.
I was just wondering what others think is the best way to do this. Virtual
CTC's or TCP/IP using a VSWITCH.
Any opinions? 

Would my  TCP/IP PNETTING ever hit a 'real' wire?
