ISO/IEC 11518-8:1999 PDF

This part of ISO/IEC 11518 defines the frame formats and protocol definitions for encapsulation of High-Performance Parallel Interface – Mechanical, Electrical, and Signalling Protocol Specification (HIPPI-PH) packets for transfer over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) equipment, i.e., tunnelling through ATM, or for use with other media. An informative annex describes an IP Router for use between HIPPI and ATM systems.

Physical layer specifications for transporting ATM cells are not specified. Both the 800 Mbit/s (100 MByte/s) and 1600 Mbit/s (200 MByte/s) HIPPI-PH options are supported. Transfers from an 800 Mbit/s HIPPI-PH, through HIPPI-ATM, to a 1600 Mbit/s HIPPI-PH, and vice versa, are supported.
