ATM Signaling Support for IP over ATM
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This memo describes the ATM call control signaling exchanges needed
to support Classical IP over ATM implementations as described in RFC
1577 [LAUB94]. ATM endpoints will incorporate ATM signaling services
as specified in the ATM Forum User-Network Interface (UNI)
Specification Version 3.1 [ATMF94]. IP over ATM implementations
utilize the services of local ATM signaling entities to establish and
release ATM connections. This memo should be used to define the
support required by IP over ATM implementations from their local ATM
signaling entities.
This document is an implementors guide intended to foster
interoperability among RFC 1577, RFC 1483, and UNI ATM signaling. It
applies to IP hosts and routers which are also ATM endsystems and
assumes ATM networks that completely implement the ATM Forum UNI
Specification Version 3.1. Unless explicitly stated, no distinction
is made between the Private and Public UNI.
