(MSCI), as part of its work on the MAGIC Gigabit Testbed, developed -the Host ATM Research Platform (HARP) software, which allows IP hosts to -communicate over ATM networks using standard protocols. It is intended to -be a high-quality platform for IP/ATM research. - -HARP provides a way for IP hosts to connect to ATM networks. It supports -standard methods of communication using IP over ATM. A host's standard IP -software sends and receives datagrams via a HARP ATM interface. HARP provides -functionality similar to (and typically replaces) vendor-provided ATM device -driver software. - -HARP includes full source code, making it possible for researchers to -experiment with different approaches to running IP over ATM. HARP is -self-contained; it requires no other licenses or commercial software packages. - -HARP implements support for the IETF Classical IP model for using IP over ATM -networks, including: - - o IETF ATMARP address resolution client - o IETF ATMARP address resolution server - o IETF SCSP/ATMARP server - o UNI 3.1 and 3.0 signalling protocols - o Fore Systems's SPANS signalling protocol - - - -What's supported ----------------- -The following are supported by HARP 3: - - o ATM Host Interfaces - - FORE Systems, Inc. SBA-200 and SBA-200E ATM SBus Adapters - - FORE Systems, Inc. PCA-200E ATM PCI Adapters - - Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155p ATM PCI Adapters - - o ATM Signalling Protocols - - The ATM Forum UNI 3.1 signalling protocol - - The ATM Forum UNI 3.0 signalling protocol - - The ATM Forum ILMI address registration - - FORE Systems's proprietary SPANS signalling protocol - - Permanent Virtual Channels (PVCs) - - o IETF "Classical IP and ARP over ATM" model - - RFC 1483, "Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5" - - RFC 1577, "Classical IP and ARP over ATM" - - RFC 1626, "Default IP MTU for use over ATM AAL5" - - RFC 1755, "ATM Signaling Support for IP over ATM" - - RFC 2225, "Classical IP and ARP over ATM" - - RFC 2334, "Server Cache Synchronization Protocol (SCSP)" - - Internet Draft draft-ietf-ion-scsp-atmarp-00.txt, - "A Distributed ATMARP Service Using SCSP" - - o ATM Sockets interface - - The file atm-sockets.txt contains further information - - -What's not supported --------------------- -The following major features of the above list are not currently supported: - - o UNI point-to-multipoint support - o Driver support for Traffic Control/Quality of Service - o SPANS multicast and MPP support - o SPANS signalling using Efficient adapters - - -For further information ------------------------ -For additional information about HARP, please see: - - http://www.msci.magic.net - - -Suggestions and Problem Reports -------------------------------- -While HARP is made available "as is" and is not supported, ANG is continuing -development of HARP. We welcome suggestions for new or enhanced features, -summaries of your experience with HARP, as well as reports of problems which -you may experience. Feel free to contact us at harp-bugs@magic.net. - -ANG is maintaining a mail list of those who wish to share their experiences -with HARP, learn of others' experiences, or receive information about future -releases of HARP. The HARP mailing list is at harp@magic.net. To be added -to the list, send email to harp-request@magic.net. - - -Acknowledgments ---------------- -This software was developed under the sponsorship of the Defense Advanced -Research Projects Agency (DARPA). - - -Citing HARP ------------ -When citing HARP in published works, please use the following citation: - -Host ATM Research Platform (HARP), Network Computing Services, Inc. -This software was developed with the support of the Defense Advanced -Research Projects Agency (DARPA). - - -Copyright and Permitted Use ---------------------------- -The Host ATM Research Platform ("HARP") software (the "Software") is -made available by Network Computing Services, Inc.
