ATM is a high-speed networking technology for Local Area Networks
|
|
|
|
|
and Wide Area Networks. It uses a fixed packet size and is
|
|
|
|
|
connection oriented, allowing for the negotiation of minimum
|
|
|
|
|
bandwidth requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to participate in an ATM network, your Linux box needs an
|
|
|
|
|
ATM networking card. If you have that, say Y here and to the driver
|
|
|
|
|
of your ATM card below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you need a set of user-space programs to actually make use
|
|
|
|
|
of ATM. See the file <file:Documentation/networking/atm.txt> for
|
|
|
|
|
further details.

Normally, an "ICMP host unreachable" message is sent if a neighbour
|
|
|
|
|
cannot be reached because there is no VC to it in the kernel's
|
|
|
|
|
ATMARP table. This may cause problems when ATMARP table entries are
|
|
|
|
|
briefly removed during revalidation. If you say Y here, packets to
|
|
|
|
|
such neighbours are silently discarded instead.

LANE client can also act as an proxy client bridging packets between

Multi-Protocol Over ATM allows ATM edge devices such as routers,

|

|
bridges and ATM attached hosts establish direct ATM VCs across

|
|
|
|
subnetwork boundaries. These shortcut connections bypass routers

enhancing overall network performance.

with the traffic being carried by ATM PVCs (currently 1 PVC/device).
