A GSN demonstration network was configured at the event.
It consisted of Compaq, IBM, SGI, and Sun UNIX platforms using GENROCO
GSN PCI NICs and an SGI GSN XIO NIC, Essential 8 and 32 port GSN switchs, and
a GENROCO 8 port GSN switch. Netperf, and industry standard networking
benchmark program, was used to generate TCP/IP traffic from the Sun system
to the SGI system at 120 MBytes/s, and from the SGI system to the IBM system
at 140 MBytes/s. A Scheduled Transfer test program produced a data stream
from the Compaq system to the SGI system at 206 MBytes/s.
