FP_NOTIFICATION
Chapter 4100
Specifies whether applications should use default or
direct routing when sending MDS_MUs to this focal
point. Possible values are:
AP_DEFAULT
MDS_MUs should be delivered to the
focal point using default routing.
AP_DIRECT
MDS_MUs should be routed on a
session directly to the focal point.
fp_data_length
Length of focal point data. This can be up to 78 bytes.
fp_data
Focal point data, which consists of the following:
• Focal Point Notification (0xE1) subvector
• Focal Point Identification (0x21) subvector, which
contains an MS Category subfield. The MS
Category subfield identifies the category for which
the application requested focal point information
and contains the following subfields:
— Focal point network identifier (NETID)
— Focal point network accessible unit (NAU)
name
— Application ID
When sending an MDS_MU in the MS category
associated with this focal point, the application should
include the information from these subfields in the
MDS_MU to ensure that it is routed to the appropriate
focal point. For full details of the information contained
in these subvectors, refer to the IBM System Network
Architecture: Formats.
