HiPPI-6400, a high-performance parallel interface running at 6400 Mb/s (800 MB/s), is a networking technology targeted for deployment in a local-area network (LAN) or system-area network (SAN). It is a low-latency, high-bandwidth switch that has the added features of providing flow control and error detection and retransmission in hardware, thus freeing network software from having to implement th...Show More

HIPPI: simplicity yields success

IEEE Network
Year: 1993 | Volume: 7, Issue: 1 | Magazine Article |
The high-performance parallel interface (HIPPI), a simplex point-to-point interface for transferring data at peak data rates of 800 or 1600 Mb/s over distances of up to 25 m, is reviewed. The HIPPI physical layer, framing protocol, link encapsulation, its mapping to fiber channels, mapping to IPI-3, switch control, fiber extender, and tester are described. The role of HIPPI in networks is discusse...Show More

The High-Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a simple high-performance, point-to-point channel for transmitting digital data at peak data rates of 800 or 1600 Mb/s. The transmission distance between data processing equipment using copper cabling can be up to 25 m. This distance may be increased by using a Serial-HIPPI extender. The authors describe the HIPPI channel, the choices considered f...Show More

Factors driving gigabit networking are identified. The problem of wedding the local area networks (LANs) used to interconnect supercomputers to the long-distance networks used for telecommunications is discussed. Changes in computer and telecommunications networks to accommodate higher speeds, longer distances, and new technology are examined. The American National Standard High-Performance Parall...Show More

Year: 1992 | Volume: 3, Issue: 2 | Journal Article |
It is noted that networks using gigabit speeds are just starting to become available and offer a whole new set of problems and potentials. The author addresses what the higher speeds are being used for, the 'standards' efforts specifying the higher-speed channels, the network architectures being proposed, and some of the open problems requiring extensive further work. It is noted that HIPPI (High ...

The high-speed channel (HSC) is a simple high-performance, point-to-point channel for transmitting digital data at peak data rates of 800 or 1600 Mb/s. The transmission distance between data-processing equipment using copper cabling can be up to 25 m. A distance-independent protocol allows the average data rate to approach the peak data rate. This is a benefit for future, fiber-optic version of th...Show More
