Abstract

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 discussed.
