115.0. "HIPPI LAN standard (800Mb)?" by ROM01::TRUFFI (Will The Circle Be Unbroken) Mon Aug 20 1990 06:26

We have received an invitation to tender asking us, between other
things, to state our position in relation to the proposed HIPPI
standard for 800 Mbit/s networks.

Does anybody know this standard or can give me any useful pointer
in order to gather information on it?

Specifically, are we involved anyhow on activities on high speed
LANs (beyond FDDI 100Mb) for supercomputers and high performance
graphic workstations?

Any help will be very appreciated

    Hallo Alberto,
    
    HPPI stands for High Performance Parallel Interface 800Mbit/s or 1,6
    Gbit/s channel. We will build an adapter for this point to point high
    speed network. You can find further information in the notesconference
    LDP::supercomputing (note 165) or BTOVT::vax_9000
