ATM is hardly a dead technology at this stage in the game. Though we're
not really seeing it to the desktop and LANE implementations aren't the
hottest thing, it's an incredible technology in the backbone. Providers
love it because it allows us to run anything and everything over it (from
voice to IP, and everything in between) and maintain quality of
service. One backbone carrying everything. So ignore ATM at your own
risk, because it's going to be with us for quite some time.

Subject: ATM Dead? Was: 350-001 examin very tough
But is ATM really dead? Sure, not too many people will be introducing new
implementations of LANE, but it seems to me that ATM over the WAN is still
fairly common. We will be using some ATM in the near future, as a matter
of
fact. We are implementing alternate backup routes to all of our main
branches using DSL. Our provider is muxing all DSL lines to an ATM
connection back to our HQ. Pretty cool, actually.
