The specification does not specify any particular topology for the inter-slot connections, but leaves this open for competitive differentiation. Additional flexibility is possible through the use of such routers on the VME cards themselves. Further details of the VME standards can be found from the VITA standards organisation . The second is IEEE P896.11 for the new Futurebus 95 specification. This specification proposes the use of both DS and HS links on the P1 connector.
Work is at an earlier stage.
