The IP Over NBMA (ION) Archive

[Internet-Drafts@ietf.org]

 A Revised 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     : Classical IP and ARP over ATM

This memo defines an initial application of classical IP and ARP in an 
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network environment configured as a 
Logical IP Subnetwork (LIS) as described in Section 5.  This memo does not 
preclude the subsequent development of ATM technology into areas other than
a LIS; specifically, as single ATM networks grow to replace many Ethernet 
local LAN segments and as these networks become globally connected, the 
application of IP and ARP will be treated differently.  This memo considers
only the application of ATM as a direct replacement for the "wires" and 
local LAN segments connecting IP end-stations ("members") and routers 
operating in the "classical" LAN-based paradigm. Issues raised by MAC level
bridging and LAN emulation are beyond the scope of this paper.             

This memo introduces general ATM technology and nomenclature.  Readers are 
encouraged to review the ATM Forum and ITU-TS (formerly CCITT) references 
for more detailed information about ATM implementation agreements and 
standards.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ion-classic2-01.txt".
							
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.
							
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
