Blue Glue
SNA
(SNA) IBM's proprietary high level networking
protocol standard, used by IBM and IBM compatible
mainframes.
Also referred to as "Blue Glue", SNA is a bletcherous protocol
once widely favoured at commercial shops. The official IBM
definition is "that which binds blue boxes together." It may
be relevant that Blue Glue is also a 3M product commonly
used to hold down carpets in dinosaur pens.

n.
[IBM; obs.] IBM's SNA (Systems Network Architecture), an incredibly {losing
} and bletcherous communications protocol once widely favored at
commercial shops that didn't know any better (like other proprietary
networking protocols, it became obsolete and effectively disappeared after
the Internet explosion c.1994). The official IBM definition is “that which
binds blue boxes together.” See fear and loathing. It may not be
irrelevant that Blue Glue is the trade name of a 3M product that is
commonly used to hold down the carpet squares to the removable panel floors
common in dinosaur pens. A correspondent at U. Minn. reports that the CS
department there has about 80 bottles of the stuff hanging about, so they
often refer to any messy work to be done as using the blue glue.
