Re: UNI or NNI?

Hi Jane,
If I interpret your question correctly then the Centillion is a Lan
Emulation Client which will talk to the ATM Network(LAN Emulation 
Service)through LUNI ( LAN Emulation UNI ).The LANE Service components
will talk among each other LNNI.
As far as accessibility is concerned,if you have multiple 
subnets(ELANs),then you need a router with an ATM card.On a single 
subnet,there should not be any problems.
Hope this helps,
-- Rakesh
