The acronym CSR is first used by Toshiba people, not me, and
their current prototype CSRs are, though different from Ipsilon's
implementation, for best effort traffic.

I don't assume RSVP. Any resource reservation scheme including ST2
is not excluded. Any service class including "best effort" is not
excluded. Proxy reservation by some intermediate router is not
excluded.

It may be a good idea for INT-SERV WG to define "best effort"
service class. Then, we may be able to replace IFMP with RSVP
(by adding RSVP fields for encapsulation format etc.).

Wrong.

ATM with some light weight signaling such as RSVP, Ipsilon's or
Toshiba's is still ATM.

ATM does not mean Q.2931 signaling.

Isn't LANE not ATM because it does not work with MARS or NHRP
or RFC 1577?

BTW, NHRP is not ATM because it, inherently, can not integrate
broadcast and communication.
