Common Link Access for
Workstations
Common Link Access for Workstations Data-link layer protocol
used by channel-attached RISC System/6000 series systems and by IBM 3172
devices running TCP/IP off-load. CLAW improves efficiency of channel use and
allows the CIP to provide the functionality of a 3172 in TCP/IP environments
and support direct channel attachment. The output from TCP/IP mainframe
processing is a series of IP datagrams that the router can switch without
modifications.
