RE: ATM circuit [7:28774]

2001-12-10 Thread Gregg Malcolm

Priscilla,

I have to agree with you on this.  I know of no method to carry ATM over an
Ethernet.  The opposite of course, is true.  If the author would have said
that ATM can run over chicken wire, I would find that much more
believeable.  ATM can run over nearly any phyiscal media.

BTW - Do you encounter service providers at all?  A Tranparent LAN (TLAN) is
quite a popular term with them.  Just a bridged 1483 PVC.  Until I worked
with that sector, never heard of it.

Priscilla,
There was something called the "Cell in Frame Alliance" that was developing
ATM over Ethernet but I don't know whatever came of it.

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.

My co-author added this statement to the book I'm working on:

" an ATM virtual circuit may begin on an OC-3 fiber link, cross over to
a T3 line, pass across a Gigabit Ethernet fiber backbone, and end up going
out through an OC-12 fiber link. 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

This is one of those protocol questions that at first makes me think 
of Bill Clinton expounding on the definition of "is," but more 
appropriately, Butler Lampson's observation that "no problem in 
computer science is insoluble with a sufficient level of indirection."

Zeroth, it's not clear what the speed of the ATM VC is, which would 
influence the technologies that could be used.

First, if the statement had referred to 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber, I 
could argue that that is simply the same physical medium dependent 
layer that underlies OC-192 SONET as well as 10 GE.

Second, is GMPLS involved? I'm almost certain there is an 
encapsulation for cells.

Third, if there were segmentation, reassembly, and resegmentation, 
would the customer ever know?

Fourth, there may be conversions anyway. By the statement "begin on 
an OC-3 fiber link," I wouldn't interpret that as raw OC-3 over 
fiber, but, since it's described as subsequently traversing a T3 
line, then is there SONET encapsulating one DS-3 or slower signal 
within the OC-3?

We provide a similiar service, labled LSS, LAN switching service. 
Customer gets either a 10 or 100M connection which we carry over DS3 or
OC3 ATM. At the customer prem the router is actually a bridge or if you
will, transparent LAN.

2001-12-11 Thread steve skinner

pris ,

i am going to answer to the statement itself...

i am not going to say weather it is possible (becuase i don`t know) but the 
passage reads to me like this

an ATM VC can run over any medium becuase it`s a VC..it may leave your HQ on 
ATM but int the Service provider`s backbone it could run on anything...DS3 
t3 MPLS etc.etc.)

this is the message he seems to be trying to get across...and prehaps a 
re-wording is in order???.


my SP (BT)has said that they DONT run atm over ethernet either

Re: ATM circuit [7:28774]

2001-12-12 Thread Peter Whittle

Priscilla,

It depends!

There is a new facility known as AToM (Any Transport over MPLS Tunnel)
that supports ATM over an MPLS core. (If you implement the MPLS core
over Gigabit Ethernet then yes you can carry ATM over Gigabit Ethernet.)

It is used by some new generation service providers to offer ATM, Frame
Relay, and leased line services to their customers when in fact they
really only have an IP based network.

Some details of it are covered in ATM Forum AF-AIC-0178.000 August 2001.
(you can down load it from ATM Forum web site)

I also recollect seeing it on some Cisco Carrier MPLS slides. I'll try
to dig out the reference.

Try a CCO search on ATOM / looking at the MPLS & ATM pages.

There is a mention of it in:

"Service Provider QoS, Providing e2e Guarantees by Vijay Krishnamoorthy
(Cisco IOS Technologies Div April 2001)" I'll try to find a URL for the
article.

I found the presentation on Service Provider QoS you mention. It's very

Thanks and thanks to everyone who answered.
