Appeal No. 96-1921
Application No. 08/225,158
claims 10 and 11, the only claims remaining in the
application.
The invention pertains to a bypass send and receive
optimizer method for VTAM processes. Computer network data
traffic is reduced by bypassing a collection of computer
program routines and macros, known as Virtual
Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM), during certain
communications between two processes so as to provide
significant savings of system resources and improved execution
speed over that required for VTAM to process the same
communication, i.e., SEND and RECEIVE requests, between
processes. The bypass is achieved, in part, by modifying the
RECEIVE request’s request-parameter-list portion to include
the address of a buffer memory where the SEND request’s data
is stored.
Independent claim 10, reproduced as follows, clearly
explains the invention:
10. A Bypass Send and Receive method, executed by a
machine which is also executing (1) a communications program
VTAM, (2) a first application program, and (3) a second
application program, for converting an outgoing data stream
from the first application program to an incoming data stream
for the second application program, said Bypass Send and
