This was the fifth in an ongoing series on high-speed LAN technologies. Earlier articles have addressed
100VG-AnyLAN, (see "100 VG-AnyLAN: The Other Fast Ethernet," March 1995),
Fibre Channel (see February 1995), FDDI (see December 1994), and fast Ethernet (see November 1994).

HIPPI-6400 is the project name for the development of a new technology very fast network standard.
In 1997 it was decided that the Commercial name is
Gigabyte System Network or GSN.
For information see the Gigabyte System Network pages that are part of the
CERN HIGH SPEED INTERCONNECT pages.
