These featuers were shipped with these PTFs MF67585, SI73777, SI73828.
Please apply the latest PTFs MF68276, SI75827, SI75262 to use the ObjectConnect over IP.
I notice this is still out here as "Uncommitted Candidate" -- native TCP/IP support was added to ObjectConnect in i7.4, so I think this is actually delivered!
The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. Bring us up to the 21st century.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

Part of the reason why SAVRST* is slow, is because of the default on the value for the "LDLC link speed" of the CRTCTLAPPC command. The default is *CAMPUS a value from tokenring. Change this value to *MAX and you will notice an improvement in speed. At least we did.

I'm voting for this, but not for the authors reasons. I just want to be able to stop creating APPC configurations just to use ObjectConnect! We have some in-house tooling based on ObjectConnect. It would be nice to have to path away from APPC without losing the gem that is ObjectConnect.
IBM has received the requirement and is evaluating it. IBM will provide a response after evaluation is complete.
