Features: This edition of the tutorial is a textbook on computer network application engineering. It provides a detailed explanation of how to achieve migration from an SNA subnet to a TCP/IP system. This edition consists of two parts, 11 chapters in total. Part one focuses on developing a plan for migrating from an SNA subnet to IP, mainly including: SNA and TCP/IP protocol integration, an overview of SNA, an overview of TCP/IP, SNA transmission in an IP network, and enterprise extenders. The second part covers specific migration configuration, mainly including: subarea networks, APPN and sysplex in data centers, IP network descriptions, enterprise extender configuration, SNI replacement, and various performance considerations, as well as two appendices. This edition is up-to-date, combines theory with practice, and integrates teaching with exercises, demonstrating strong practicality and guidance. It serves not only as a self-study guide for a broad range of developers and programmers engaged in network engineering but also as a reference for faculty and students in higher education institutions majoring in related fields. Additionally, it can be used as supplementary teaching material for social network training courses.
