Industry Standard Protocols White Papers
Virtual Interface Architecture and Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Overview The Internet-standard Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), or more specifically, Internet Protocol (IP), is used on almost every network today. TCP/IP is optimized for distributed, heterogeneous environments. By allowing communication across server architectures, operating systems, and generations of servers, TCP/IP makes it possible to initiate communications directly between a mainframe and a client PC without using the Systems Network Architecture (SNA) protocol. When IP was developed, communication overhead in most systems was minimal. However, today's CPU utilization and latency demands, brought about by the growth of the Internet and data center environments, require a more efficient high-speed network.
