Hi everybody,
I am implementing the
ILMI 4.0 protocol used by UNI for address registration and Auto configuration of
PVCs. I am implementing the User Side IME. The Specification says that for
address registration procedures the Network side IME can register as many
network prefixes as it wants. i have a few questions.
1. How many network prefixes can be registered for
an atm interface by the switch? In what scenario more than one network
prefixes are registerd by the switch. And if more than one network
prefixes are available, while registration of an ATM address which network
prefix will be used.
2. Two types of ATM addresses exist in ATM.
Individual and Group addresses. These are distinguished by the AFI value
in the ATM address. From UNI 4.0 specs ANYCAST service uses the group
addresses. For the address registeration of the ANYCAST address does the
switch provide with a different Network prefix. meaning the AFI value is
different. Or if the user wants to register an anycast atm address it just
replaces the AFI value for an Individual address with the AFI value for
Group address.
3. According to ILMI specification 4.0. "The
Network prefix for private atm address provided by the switch has 13
octets. But in case of Native E.164 address structures the network prefix is a
mere 8 octets". Then in that case who provides the 4 bytes for the HO DSP
part or do we have to set them to zero.
thanks
regards
ekpal
