Not at all. Unless some company or either the ATM-Forum or the IEEE "develop" standards that allow the ATM/G-Ethernet interworking function.
It is my understanding that the only other Layer 2 technology that has interworking functions compliant with ATM is Frame Relay, they are defined in the FRF.5 and FRF.8 documents available at the Frame Relay Forum.

This may be an implementation of a single ATM circuit, however." Could an ATM virtual circuit really span an Ethernet backbone?? Thanks! I don't want to be one of those authors that propagates misinformation. ;-) Seriously, some mistakes are unavoidable, but this one seems avoidable (if it is a mistake) Priscilla ________________________ Priscilla Oppenheimer http://www.priscilla.com Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=28798&t=28774 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
