Are you aware of what development work these Companies are doing on next generation Silicon switches.

In terms of moving from processor/software based routing to silicon (optical in the future), ATM has an advantage because it has a short fixed cell size. These short cells will appear in all-silicon or all-optical switches before IP, just because of the huge variable packet sizes in IP.

Also, keep in mind that ATM is a protocol level above the transport level. Optical transport schemes and ATM can easily co-exist as they do now in many networks.
