HIPPI 800 and 1600 Mbit/s Switch Control
(HIPPI-SC)

ISO/IEC 11518-6:199x is here. It is the ISO version of ANSI standard ANSI X3.222-1997. The ISO version is being processed in the ISO Fast Track as a draft International Standard (DIS).

Status as of February 4, 1999 -

HIPPI-SC Rev 3.1 has been approved as American National Standard X3.222-1997. Rev 3.2 differs from Rev 3.1 by the addition of the cover pages, ANSI disclaimers, and NCITS membership list. Rev 3.2 has the same technical content as the published standard. The Technical Editor responsibilities passed from Don Tolmie to Roger Ronald.

An ISO version (no technical changes, just some different formatting and spellings) is being processed in the ISO Fast Track procedure.

High-Performance Parallel Interface - Physical Switch Control (HIPPI-SC)

Abstract -

This revision of ANSI X3.222-1993 provides a protocol for controlling physical layer switches which are based on the High-Performance Parallel Interface, a simple high-performance point-to-point interface for transmitting digital data at peak data rates of 800 or 1600 Mbit/s between data-processing equipment.
