ANSI/VITA 26-1998 Standard for Myrinet-on-VME Protocol Specification

American National Standards Institute(ANSI). VMEbus International Trade Association(VITA). Approved November 2, 1998. 54 p. This standard describes the high-performance, inter-computer, Myrinet packet network that is fully compatible with existing VMEbus standards and their extensions. This standard addresses communication between VME boards using interconnect either on the front panel or on the backplane. The communication may use cables or an overlay (such as a backplane). The standard defines the interface between a VME board and Myrinet, allowing not only intra-subrack, board-to-board communication, but also a uniform extension for inter-subrack, inter-cabinet, and even local-area-network (LAN) communication
