Abstract
In order to more fully support the need to interconnect dissimilar networks, methods and apparatus are set forth which allow a transport gateway between a native (SNA/APPN) network and a mixed or non-native network to preserve the dynamic functions of the native network. The functions of fully dynamic directory and route selection are supported, in addition to the ability to use parallel gateways when connecting a native network to a mixed network. The ability to route information through a gateway from a dependent LU requester in a non-native network to a dependent LU server in a SNA/APPN network is also demonstrated. This allows concatenation of native and non-native networks while maintaining the addressability and accessibility of the native network.
