Abstract
Some of the issues that arise when carrying gigabit-per-second supercomputer traffic on ATM networks are discussed. In particular, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and upper layer protocols, and other application issues are addressed. Experiences in the application of broadband networks for supercomputer communications are related to these issues
