HIPPI, Fibre Channel, and ATM as gigabit/s LANs

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10113935
Computer networks that operate in the gigabit per second speed range are becoming very important for interconnecting supercomputers and other high end equipment. Some trends and applications are examined and criteria for selecting an interconnection technology are developed. HIPPI is the current interface of choice, while Fibre Channel and ATM are emerging standards. These systems are examined as to their backgrounds, advantages, and shortcomings.
