Subject: Oracle's MultiProtocol Interchange: performance
Newsgroups: comp.databases.oracle


Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest)
Summary: 


Keywords: 



We have a large WAN with Windows clients talking to a AIX Oracle database 
server. All of the PCs are connected to a Novell LAN and run IPX/SPX. We 
need to decide which communications solution is best.  Two choices are:



    
  
  1.   Use IPX/SPX on the client side and use Oracle's
	MutiProtocol Interchange to talk to the TCP/IP server.
				(or)
  
  2.   Run a dual stack on the PCs - TCP/IP and IPX/SPX.






My main concerns are performance and simplicity.  If we can get away with 
running just TCP/IP on the clients, remote installation and support would 
be easier.


I would greatly appreciate any comments from users of Oracle's 
MultiProtocol Interchange.



Thanks in Advance
