You *can* use hipersockets to talk between Linux guests. If the guests
are running in the same z/VM system it makes more sense to use the
VSwitch, than to use hipersockets. Of course, if the Linux guests are
in different LPARs then you have to use hipersockets.
I defer the security aspect of the discussion to the gentleman that had
his *other* hat on earlier....

Thanks for the information. For some reason I was under the impression
that you could not use Hipersockets to talk between z/Linux guests, this
is why we set up Vswitches and talk between guests using OSA. Am I
confusing something here?
Thank You,
