Obsolete Network Protocol Drivers Removed
Obsolete network protocol drivers are no longer supported. A newer version of some of the drivers is available.
If a dropped protocol is used in your environment, contact Actian Support to identify a migration plan. The protocol wintcp is upgraded automatically to tcp_ip during installation. Other dropped protocols must be changed manually.
Note:  All platforms continue to support the industry standard protocol TCP/IP (default is tcp_ip on Linux, UNIX, and Windows; tcp_dec on VMS; and tcp_ibm on the mainframe). Other supported protocols are listed in a following section.
Network Protocol Drivers Removed
Windows:
lanman – Microsoft Lan Manager
nvlspx – Novell SPX/IPX
wintcp – Winsock 1.1 TCP/IP
UNIX, Linux:
async – BLAST serial protocol
decnet – DECnet (still used and supported on VMS, but not from UNIX)
iso_oslan – ISO OSI Local Area Network
iso_x25 – ISO OSI X25
nvlspx – Novell SPX/IPX
sna_lu62 – SNA LU62 (was available only on Oracle/Sun Solaris, HP-UX, and IBM AIX)
VMS:
async – BLAST serial protocol
nvlspx – Novell SPX/IPX
sna_lu0 – SNA LU0
tcp_wol – Wollongong or Multinet running Wollongong emulation TCP/IP
Network Protocol Drivers Supported
Windows:
tcp_ip – Winsock 2 TCP/IP
UNIX, Linux:
tcp_ip, sock_tcp_ip – TCP/IP including IPv6 support
tcp_ipv4, tcp_ip (if IPv6 not available on OS), sockets (if HP-UX TLI used for tcp_ip) – TCP/IP (v4 only)
tli_tcp_ip or tcp_ip – TCP/IP using Transport Layer Interface (TLI) rather than sockets (HP-UX only)
VMS:
decnet – DECnet (built into VMS OS)
tcp_dec – TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
VSI DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Integrity
VSI TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Integrity
