The IP Over NBMA (ION) Archive

[Internet-Drafts@CNRI.Reston.VA.US]

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Internetworking Over NBMA 
Working Group of the IETF.                                                 

       Title     : ATM Signalling Support for IP over ATM - UNI 4.0 Update 
       Author(s) : M. Perez, A. Mankin

This memo describes how to efficiently use the ATM call control signalling 
procedures defined in UNI 4.0 [UNI96] to support IP over ATM environments 
as described in RFC 1577 [LAUB94] and in [KATZ96].  Among the new features 
found in UNI 4.0 signalling are Available Bit Rate (ABR) signalling and 
traffic parameter negotiation.  This initial draft highlights the features 
of UNI 4.0 signalling that provide IP entities capabilities for requesting 
ATM service in sites with SVC support, whether it is private ATM or 
publicly provisioned ATM, in which case the SVC support is probably 
configured inside PVPs.                  
                                  
This document is only relevant to IP when used as the well know "best 
effort" connectionless service. In particular, this means that this 
document does not pertain to IP in the presence of implemented IP 
Integrated Services (ISS) and RSVP.  The topic of IP with ISS over ATM will
be handled by a different specification or set of specifications being 
worked on in the ISSLL WG.                                                 

This specification is follow-on to RFC 1755, "ATM Signaling Support
for IP over ATM", which is based on UNI signalling 3.1. Readers are
assumed to be familiar with RFC 1755.

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
