  This APAR adds the capability to start an OSA interface with
  an IP address of 0.0.0.0.  This interface can be used to
  send and receive broadcast traffic.  For example, a
  DHCP client could communicate with a DHCP server to obtain
  an IP address dynamically.

  This PTF contains an update to the Netstat Home command output.
  Netstat Home can return multiple flag values.  For Netstat Home
  Short format, both the P and I flags can be returned.  For
  Netstat Home Long format, the flags value can now return Primary
  and Internal, separated by a space.  Any automated parsing of
  the output will need to be updated to account for the possible
  presence of both flags or words.
