ATM is a high-speed networking technology for Local Area Networks
|
| 10 |
|
|
and Wide Area Networks. It uses a fixed packet size and is
|
| 11 |
|
|
connection oriented, allowing for the negotiation of minimum
|
| 12 |
|
|
bandwidth requirements.
|
| 13 |
|
|
|
| 14 |
|
|
In order to participate in an ATM network, your Linux box needs an
|
| 15 |
|
|
ATM networking card. If you have that, say Y here and to the driver
|
| 16 |
|
|
of your ATM card below.
|
| 17 |
|
|
|
| 18 |
|
|
Note that you need a set of user-space programs to actually make use
|
| 19 |
|
|
of ATM. See the file for
|
| 20 |
|
|
further details.

Normally, an "ICMP host unreachable" message is sent if a neighbour
|
| 36 |
|
|
cannot be reached because there is no VC to it in the kernel's
|
| 37 |
|
|
ATMARP table. This may cause problems when ATMARP table entries are
|
| 38 |
|
|
briefly removed during revalidation. If you say Y here, packets to
|
| 39 |
|
|
such neighbours are silently discarded instead.

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

bridges and ATM attached hosts establish direct ATM VCs across

| 56 |
|

subnetwork boundaries. These shortcut connections bypass routers

enhancing overall network performance.

This is an experimental mechanism for users who need to terminate a

|

large number of IP-only vcc's. Do not enable this unless you are sure

| 74 |
|
|
you know what you are doing.
