High-Performance Routing
HPR is an enhancement to APPN architecture that provides better performance
over high speed, low error rate links using existing hardware. HPR replaces the
normal APPN intermediate session routing (ISR) with a Network Control Layer
(NCL) containing a new type of source routing function called automatic network
routing (ANR). The complete HPR route is contained in the ANR packet allowing
intermediate routing nodes to route the packets with less processing overhead and
storage.
HPR also eliminates the error recovery and flow control (session-level pacing)
procedures for each link between nodes and moves the error recovery and
flow/congestion control procedures to the end-points of an HPR connection. A
transport layer using a new error recovery procedure called Rapid Transport
