ATM support in a transparent network

A generic approach to the mapping of various routing modes and packet formats onto different link layers in the plaNET network is discussed. It is argued that the necessary transformations can be performed relatively easily, at little additional cost to the network and, more importantly, without performance degradation. The approach taken and components used in plaNET to provide the simple interfacing with ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) networks and links are described.>
