  abstract= "At the 14th WoTUG Technical Meeting at Loughborough
     University in September 1991, Graeme Tozer from INMOS
     described the architecture of the IMS B300 Ethernet
     Interface. This product supports four external transputer
     networks, providing each with an Iserver interface to
     Ethernet and connectivity to a host Iserver running on a
     processor elsewhere on the Ethernet. Performance claims in
     the range 200-300 kbytes per second were made for raw TCP
     transfers between a typical Unix workstation and transputers
     networked to it using the B300. This paper outlines the
     techniques which the author has used recently to enhance the
     performance of his own pipelined TCP/IP implementation for
     Ethernet to achieve throughputs of up to 925 kbytes per
     second on substantially similar hardware. Many of these
     techniques are equally appropriate to any large
     communicating process application."
