HIPPI over ATM networks: extending connections for distributed computing

HIPPI networks, which are popular as connections among supercomputers and high-end workstations, have not yet become widespread in distributed computing because of their distance limitations. This article compares two schemes that overcome this restriction and provide high bandwidth utilization: HIP...

Description
Summary:HIPPI networks, which are popular as connections among supercomputers and high-end workstations, have not yet become widespread in distributed computing because of their distance limitations. This article compares two schemes that overcome this restriction and provide high bandwidth utilization: HIPPI tunneling and IP routing.
