2702.0. "DECNET logical link and DECMCC ?" by MARS02::THOMAS () Tue Apr 07 1992 05:10

	In the version 1.1 of DECMCC, some FUNCTIONAL MODULES used several
simultaneous logical links to get informations on DECNET ENTITY (STATISTICS,
EXPORTER ...). So these F.M. cannot be used for DECNET ROUTER that only allows
1 logical link (for example the DR 250).

	Is this pb fixed in the version 1.2 of DECMCC ?

	Regards,

	Bernard

    The algorithm in V1.2 is the following. 
    
    For each request/response we attempt to open as many concurrent links
    as is necessary. If the device can't support that number of links we
    drop back to single link mode. Thus any single command to a DR 250
    in isolation works correctly. However, if for some reason 2 operations
    with a DR250 happen to occur at the same time (ie. polling and an
    interactive request), then the first one will get the link and succeed
    and the second one will get an exception of insufficient resources
    from the DR250.
    
    So if you are careful about not having too many concurrent requests
    outstanding to a DR250 then V1.2 will resolve your problems. 
    
    The above solution was the best compromise we could achieve. It doesn't
    make requests to reasonable devices pay a performance penalty while
    it allows access to screwball devices like the DR250 but with some
    performance penalty.
