Abstract
Techniques for providing a method and system for TCP to X.25 connectivity are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method, comprising configuring, via at least one processor, an X.25 switch for direct communication with a TCP/IP based network device, configuring, via at least one processor, X.25 packet encapsulation software on the TCP/IP based network device, provisioning, via at least one processor, one or more X.25 PVCs on the X.25 switch, provisioning, via at least one processor, one or more PVCs on the TCP/IP based network device, and routing network traffic directly between the TCP/IP based network device and the X.25 switch.
Claims20
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- configuring, via at least one processor, an X.25 switch for direct communication with a TCP/IP based network device;
- configuring, via at least one processor, X.25 packet encapsulation software on the TCP/IP based network device;
- provisioning, via at least one processor, one or more X.25 PVCs on the X.25 switch;
- provisioning, via at least one processor, one or more PVCs on the TCP/IP based network device;
- and
- routing network traffic directly between the TCP/IP based network device and the X.25 switch.
A system, comprising:
- an X.25 switch configured for direct communication with a TCP/IP based network device;
- a processor communicatively coupled to the X.25 switch, the processor configured to:
- provisioning one or more X.25 PVCs on the X.25 switch;
- a TCP/IP based network device, wherein the TCP/IP based network device includes X.25 packet encapsulation software;
- a processor communicatively coupled to the TCP/IP based network device, the processor configured to:
- provisioning one or more PVCs on the TCP/IP based network device;
- and
- a physical connection between the TCP/IP based network device and the X.25 switch for routing network traffic directly between the TCP/IP based network device and the X.25 switch.
