Earlier network-related programs, such as ftp (for file transfers), telnet (for remote logins), and rsh (for remote command execution) lack a basic security mechanism: encryption. Without encryption, users of such programs are vulnerable to eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other attacks as they inadvertently expose all transmitted data, including passwords, to almost anyone who's interested. That's why SSH was developed.

High-Speed Switched Serial Fabrics Improve System Design, Third Edition
When VXS, a proposal for standardizing gigabit serial switched fabrics shook the embedded community in 2002 as part of the VMEbus renaissance, XMC, a natural extension of that technology to PMC modules was inevitable. VXS is the popular name for a switched serial backplane fabric implementation for VMEbus. The VXS specification is fabric-transparent, in that there are subspecifications, one for each of fabrics: Infiniband, Serial RapidIO, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express.
