Re: ILMI - Atm Layer Group

Can anyone tell me exactly how LANE 3.0 supports IP multicast (IGMP)?  Does it use the BUS? 
 
Thanks in advance,

Subject: CR: ILMI - Atm Layer Group

I am trying to implement ILMI for my switch on the network side. The Atm Layer group in ILMI4.0 spec has a field "atmfAtmLayerMaxVPCs". The description goes like this

"The max number of switched and permanent VPCs supported on this interface. For virtual interfaces(i.e. Virtual path connections), the maximum number of VPCs PNNI may communicate over is set to zero".!!

1. Now where did PNNI come into the picture. I don't understand the link between PNNI/ILMI and ofcourse the above statement. As far as I know PNNI uses 0/18 and ILMI 0/16. And they can work independently!

2. What do we set it to --- atmInterfaceMaxVpcs from Atm Interface table??

Can anyone throw some light?
