Gateway
(Page 4 of 4)

SNA Gateway

The SNA (Systems Network Architecture) gateway allow PC based transport protocols such as IPX, NetBEUI, or TCP/IP to ‘talk’ to the IBM SNA protocol found on mid and large range IBM systems. This protocol is proprietary and not compatible with the OSI model. SNA operates on a similar 7 layer design with layers 1-7 being, physical, data link, path control, transmission, data flow, presentation, and transaction layer. The hardware gateways use the SDLC (synchronous data ink control) protocol. Because converting between SNA/SDLC and other protocols requires translation at many layers in the communication sequence, SNA gateways can be said to operate at Layer 7 and at lower layers as well.
