Perhaps, but the points I was trying to make are the following. First I'll
repeat the original question, to make things easier.

1. TCP/IP is "connection-oriented." It uses global addressing.
2. ATM is (virtual) circuit switched. It uses global addressing (E.164 or
other schemes).
While it's true that a special case of ATM, specifically a PVC, doesn't
need any global addressing, since it's essentially a dedicated line, that
question still makes no sense.
