This is a text description of Figure 5-2, "TCP/IP Connection Flow".

This illustration of Oracle Net communication is adequately described in the "Configuring Oracle Net for TCP/IP AS/400" section of the chapter, which is presented with the figure.

A Client is shown connecting to both a gateway server and to IBM TCP/IP within the AS/400.

The gateway server connects to a Listener through APPC. The Listener is also linked to IBM TCP/IP.
