I recommend getting the OSI layers down and learn to associate things with
it. It'll help you along with thing such as this.
Correct me if I'm wrong list members, I don't feel like pulling up my
decodes map:
ATM is primarily layer 2 (there are a few layer 3 elements). IP is strictly
Layer 3. Yes, you're correct about it being similar to the way IP can ride
over a Frame Relay encapsulation (layer 2), which rides on T1/Fractional T1
DS0s (layer 1).
Whenever trying to learn a new technology, put it into the OSI model and
find out how it ties in with the layers above and below.
I've links to two protocol decode maps (of course you can find others):
