Summary
HiperSockets is a way to provide high-speed LPAR-to-LPAR communications within the same server on Z. However, many users have trouble properly implementing this technology on their system or understanding its true value. In 2020, a majority of the questions received by the Communications Server team in the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) were related to HiperSockets. This presentation serves to provide background information, an overview, and additional steps to understanding this IBM technology that improves network speed between LPARS within a CEC.
