<<The specifics of this technology are quite detailed, but in a nutshell it allows Ascend's ATM switches to read IP packets (layer 3) and switch them using layer 2 ATM technology. This significantly speeds up data flow, and because ATM is a connection-oriented technology, there will not be congestion at any intermediate nodes. Since Quality of Service was specifically designed into ATM by the standards forum, it also allows the carriers to assign higher priority to certain traffic by paying customers.>> Thanks Bucky, this really helped me. Thanks for taking the time. jww
