Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) is an extension to the Systems Network Architecture (SNA).APPN was meant to complement IBM's Systems Network Architecture, a legacy from the mainframe era. It was designed as a simplification, but it turned out to be utterly complex, in particular in migration situations. APPN was originally meant to be a "DECNET killer", but DEC actually died before APPN was completed. Today, of course, APPN has been completely superseded by TCP/IP (Internet). Note that APPN has nothing to do with controversial peer-to-peer file sharing software such as KaZaa or Napster. The designation peer-to-peer in the case of APPN refers to its independence from a central point of control, unthinkable in today's networks but common in the mainframe era.
