Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG Circuits

An Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG circuit represents the status and capability of the two underlying Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TGs between two nodes. Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG circuits within subnetworks and between subnetworks are displayed in the views.

Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG circuits are real objects; however, the topology manager interprets status of the circuits from that of the two Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TGs that form the circuit. The SNA topology manager uses an internal algorithm to calculate Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG circuit status from two underlying Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TGs. The algorithm, simply stated, is:
  • When only one underlying Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG exists, the status of the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG circuit is the same as that Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG.
  • When one of the two underlying Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TGs has a status of unknown, the status of the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG circuit is the same as the other Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG.
  • When neither of the two underlying Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TGs has a status of unknown, the most negative status of the two Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TGs is used as the status of the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG circuit.

Table 1 shows several examples of how Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG status correlates to Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG circuit status. The correlations cannot be customized. For clarity, the two TGs that form the circuit are referenced as TG 1 and TG 2; however, order is not important.

Table 1. Examples of Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG-to-Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG Circuit Status Correlation
Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG 1 Status Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG 2 Status Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG Circuit Status
No TG object Unknown Unknown
Unknown Satisfactory Satisfactory
Unsatisfactory Low unsatisfactory Unsatisfactory
Intermediate Satisfactory Intermediate
Satisfactory Medium unsatisfactory Medium unsatisfactory
Note: All possible status combinations are not shown. Several examples are shown to help you understand how the topology manager derives Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking TG circuit status.
