ACF/NCP ==>
Advanced Communication Function/Network Control Program
<networking> (ACF/NCP, usually called just "NCP") The primary SNA network
control program, one of the ACF products. ACF/NCP resides in the communications
controller and interfaces with ACF/VTAM in the host processor to control network
communications.
NCP can also communicate with multiple hosts using local channel or remote links
(PU type 5 or PU type 4) thus enabling cross domain application communication.
In a multiple mainframe SNA environment, any terminal or application can access
any other application on any host using cross domain logon.
See also Emulator program.
