The TCP/IP stacks that the Advisor will use must be started prior to starting the Advisor. An Agent can be started before the TCP/IP stack it uses is started. If the TCP/IP stack that an Agent uses terminates, the Agent remains active and reestablishes communication with the TCP/IP stack after it becomes active again. For CINET considerations regarding Agent recovery after stack failure, see Starting the TCP/IP stacks in a CINET environment.
