1. High Performance Parallel Interface standard> HIPPI, previously HPPI A connection-oriented, point-to-point networking standard using circuit-switching technology at a speed of 800 Mbits/s or 1. 6 Gbits/s simplex or full-duplex. HIPPI is often used for short distances up to 10km depending on cable type to connect a supercomputer to routers, frame buffers, mass-storage peripherals and other computers. HIPPI was developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory and is now ANSI standard X3T9/88-127. Standards for interconnecting with ATM, SONet, and fibre channel are in development.
