Abstract

We compare implementation of Raw and Internet protocols (TCP, UDP) on a programmable HIPPI host-interface called the Network Interface Unit. The network interface unit connects Pixel-Planes 5, a message-based graphics multicomputer, to a wide area gigabit network called VISTAnet. The BISDN network consists of a SONET cross-connect switch and an ATM switch. We discuss the tradeoffs between protocols for our target application and present a comparison of end-to-end throughput based on empirical measurements.
