I agree with K Sacca,
Untill we come up with a solid QoS solution that is truly multi vendor and
flexible end -to-end, I will be very hard for Gig to replace ATM. ATM is not
a bad technology, it is just more complex to work with. And the Gig Vs ATM
debate is not that solid I think. There will be times were Gig is the best
solution, and times were ATM is the best solution. it all depends on what
you are trying to accomplish.
Yours,
Mohammed.
802.1P will probably give Gigabit Ethernet
the features needed to push ATM to the WAN
only. Only time will tell.
