The only use of the term "TCP4" that I've seen was in reference to TCP
run over IPv4. Since the old ARPANET and NCP are quite dead, I
haven't seen "TCP4" as a common term.

Where'd you run into this?

Could this instead be a corruption of "TP4"? That's the rough
equivalent of TCP in the ISO CLNP world. (Which is also dead, though
I suppose not as dead as NCP. ;-})

joris,

where did this term come from? the TCP version number that eveyone
using now is 4 and it's peer IP is also version 4. there is , however,
IPv6 and ICMPv6...

what are you trying to find out?

Are you seeing this in AIX 4.3? tcp4 is used to indicate an AF_INET
SOCK_STREAM socket, aka TCP over IPv4.

Hi,

When we enter a netstat -a on a aix-4.3.1 system we get this TCP4

This is "the only difference" in network what we can find between a
aix-4.2.1 and this 4.3.1 system. We are looking in to this because Control-M
does not run on this 4.3.1 system, and the support on Control-M is worst

Why doesn't the aix-4.2.1 gives TCP4 in the netstat -a entry ?

AIX 4.2.1 only knows about classical IP (which appears to be known as
TCP4 in AIX 4.3.x) so it doesn't worry about numbering the versions of
IP in it's netstat as it only knows about one. I don't think however
this is your problem with regards to Control-M.

netstat gives entries for both IPv4 configuration and IPv6 configuration in AIX
4.3, because they can coexist.
As for Ctrl-M (I assume you mean the button combination), check the stty -a
settings. If there is no ^M defined, you might add the definition to your
/etc/profile or $HOME/.profile.

Unfortunately I am not refering to the button combination, but to the
schedulingapplication Control-M.
We fnaly got an anwser from Boole and Babbage Europe about Control-M,
A new verion had to be installed.
