A number of proposals for supporting IP over ATM are under discussion in the networking community including: LAN emulation, classical IP over ATM, routing over large clouds, and m...
IP traffic on the Internet and private enterprise networks has been growing exponentially for some time. This growth is beginning to stress the traditional, processor based design...
We describe a system in which layer 2 switching is placed directly under the control of layer 3 routing protocols on a hop-by-hop basis. Specifically, ATM switching is controlled ...
