1 Description
- Supports transmission rates up to 52 Mb/s. Engineers use HSSI to connect
routers on LANs with WANs over high-speed lines such as T3 lines.
Engineers also use HSSI to provide high-speed connectivity between LANs,
using Token Ring or Ethernet. HSSI is a DTE/DCE interface developed by
Cisco Systems and T3plus Networking to address the need for high-speed
communication over WAN links.
