A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : IP and ARP over HIPPI-6400 (GSN) Author(s) : J. Pittet Filename : draft-pittet-gsnlan-01.txt Pages : 31 Date : 23-Mar-99 The ANSI T11.1 task force has standardized HIPPI-6400 also known as Gigabyte System Newtwork (GSN), a physical-level, point-to-point, full-duplex, link interface for reliable, flow-controlled, transmission of user data at 6400 Mbit/s, per direction. A parallel copper cable interface for distances of up to 40 m is specified in HIPPI-6400-PH [1]. Connections to a longer-distance optical interface are standardized in HIPPI-6400-OPT [3]. HIPPI-6400-PH [1] defines the encapsulation of IEEE 802.2 LLC PDUs [10] and by implication, IP on GSN. Another T11.1 standard describes the operation of HIPPI-6400 physical switches HIPPI-6400-SC [2]. T11.1 chose to leave HIPPI-6400 networking issues largely outside the scope of their standards; this document specifies the use of HIPPI- 6400 switches as IP local area networks. This document further specifies a method for resolving IP addresses to HIPPI-6400 hardware addresses (HARP) and for emulating IP broadcast in a logical IP subnet (LIS) as a direct extension of HARP. Furthermore it is the goal of this memo to define a IP and HARP that will allow interoperability for HIPPI-800 and HIPPI-6400 equipment both broadcast and non-broadcast capable networks.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-pittet-gsnlan-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
