very common. particularly in hub and spoke situations, where the host site needs to aggregate a lot of bandwidth from a lot of remotes. way cool also is that if your telco supports it, you can do DSL to ATM also, giving quite a bit of flexibility. I have customers who are doing FRATM ( frame relay in the remote sites, and ATM at the host ) and RLAN ( DSL at the remote sites and ATM at the host site ) I don't have any customers shooting the works myself, but a couple of my co-workers have done some pretty exciting designs mixing ATM, frame, and DSL at remote sites and high cap ATM at the host. neet!!!!! > > _______________________________ > > Priscilla Oppenheimer > www.troubleshootingnetworks.com > www.priscilla.com Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=65013&t=64923 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
