"The UC Berkeley-LBL HIPPI Networking Environment"
Bruce A. Mah

The XUNET 3 networking testbed will rely on HIPPI network technology
for interconnecting equipment within the various testbed sites.  The
HIPPI network under construction in Berkeley will have a wide variety
of hosts and other equipment attached.  This heterogeneity, as well as
the nature of HIPPI itself, presents some special challenges to
network protocol implementation, particularly on those devices with
non-standard architectures.

In this talk we present the HIPPI environment at UC Berkeley and
Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.  We also describe some of the devices to
be connected to the network, such as the RAID II disk array, and
discuss some of the issues which will need to be addressed in
implementing the Tenet Real-Time Protocol Suite on these machines.
