SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE ATM ADAPTATION LAYER SERVICES NEEDED TO SUPPORT TCP/IP.
Grenville J. Armitage · 2005
This paper examines four issues: 1. The datagram transport needs of the DARPA Internetworking Protocol, 2. The basic data transport facilities provided by CCITT’s evolving ATM Adaptation Layer, 3. The relationship between these facilities and the needs of IP, 4. Encapsulation of IP datagrams, and the provision of dynamic Address Resolution. Comparisons are also made with LAN support of IP services.
