CNTI Computer Network Technology International is offering a 115Mbits-per-second ChanneLink 5100/R networking processor for IBM main-frames; the company claims that the 5100/R can sustain a quadrupled data throughput in comparison with current front-end processors, and can theoretically interconnect 65,000 hosts in a channel-to-channel network: the processor is priced from UKP36,000 per node, depending on system configuration.
