Notes:
  1. MULTPATH is meaningful only if the NODETYPE start option is also specified.
You can configure TCP/IP to use multiple paths for outbound packets. Use the MULTPATH start option to enable or disable this function for Enterprise Extender (EE). You can change the value of MULTPATH by issuing the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command while VTAM® is running.
MULTPATH=NO
Disables multipath routing support for EE connections regardless of the TCP/IP profile IPCONFIG MULTIPATH or IPCONFIG6 MULTIPATH setting in a TCP/IP stack.
MULTPATH=TCPVALUE
Indicates that VTAM accepts the setting of the TCP/IP stack that is associated with EE to control multipath routing for EE connections.

The setting of the TCP/IP profile IPCONFIG MULTIPATH or IPCONFIG6 MULTIPATH determines the multipath routing control in a TCP/IP stack.
