Class Overview
This intensive seminar is designed to provide the attendee with an understanding of the performance management of their TCP/IP network, socket applications, and TCP/IP stack. It is designed to guide you in learning the basic concepts of TCP/IP network performance management by teaching you a step-by-step approach to performance tuning. You will learn how to analyze SMF reports and various TCP/IP profile and setup parameters. You will learn performance management of your TCP/IP stack, how socket application performance may be improved, and basic workload measurement. You will learn where the security vulnerabilities are of the core Internet protocols and how to protect your installation.
The strength of this seminar not only comes from the information learned, but from the performance analysis you can perform on your own data during the seminar week.

Seminar Highlights:
Detailed explanations on how to interpret performance reports and how to remedy bad performance situations are provided.

Optionally, your individual system performance reports can be evaluated which includes a written recommendation report. This service is the equivalent of an expert reviewing your installation data and providing a detailed explanation.
You will learn to identify performance problems, whether originating from the TCP/IP network system setup parameters or from excessive resource consumption.
You will learn if you have security holes in your TCP/IP stack as we have found in many systems

Prerequisites:
A basic understanding of z/OS, SMF, TCP/IP, and networks is assumed.
