The Cisco IOS implements the Common Link Access to Workstation (CLAW) channel protocol to transport data between the mainframe and the Cisco CIP in TCP/IP environments. The CLAW packing feature is an enhancement to the CLAW protocol support which enables the transport of multiple IP packets in a single channel operation.
