		Organisations World Wide
	High performance Network Forum (HNF)
	HNF Europe the HNF European User Group ( Before EHUG )

The High performance Network Forum is:

the place where the HIPPI and GSN standards and its different papers are developed and maintained.

That manages the HIPPI Reflector, an on-line discussion forum for:

Developing new Network Standards.

Modification and Extension of Existing Standards

Solving user Problems.

Maintaining Pages on the WEB with many pointers to interesting GSN Sites and to manufacturers of GSN equipment.

High performance Network Forum Europ is a user groups that:

Has the role to maintain communication between users of HIPPI, Serial HIPPI, GSN and the High Performance Network Forum ( HNF ). Membership to user groups is free of charge.

And organises technical Symposiums and Workshops. For announcements see:
