Hi all,
FYI,
GENROCO is writing STP stacks for Compaq Tru64 UNIX, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX,
and will soon be doing Linux, NT, and HP/UX. These are intended to run
with our PCI GSN NIC as well as the standard GigE NICs supported by these
platforms. We are doing this primarily to support the SCSI on STP (SST)
protocol
to enable Gigabit Ethernet SANs, but that should not be a limitation to
using ST for other purposes.
We bridge TCP/IP and STP between GigE, OC48 POS (a long haul option), HIPPI,
GSN, and (for SST) Fibre Channel in our hardware products. We'll be showing
a lot of this in our booth (#856) at SC2000 in Dallas (Nov. 6 - 9).
If you are refering to STP acceleration in the NICs, our PCI GSN NIC will
support
STP acceleration soon.
