Hi,

 Do you know about any commercial Ethernet Switch box with
 an uplink of ATM interface?
 To develop such a box, which Ethernet Switch chips or
 chipsets in the market could be chosen? A very important
 objective for such a box is the ability to bridge the
 packets between the Ethernet Switch chips/chipsets and
 ATM interface hardware, i.e., SAR chip with pretty high
 performance. That is, one might hope that the high bandwidth
 at the ATM interface (for instance, about 130M for data
 payload) won't be highly lowered due to overburdened software.
 I think we still have to bridge packets between the Ethernet
 Switch chips and the ATM interface by software, but the
 overhead and efficiency of the software depends heavily on the
 abilities of the Ethernet Switch chip used.
 Any suggestion, web sites, and things like this will be
 appreciated.
