1) I believe YURI simply glues and unglues OCxx pipes together...FORE
actually provides different sized bandwith connections over OC3,
OC12 and OC48. In protocol terms....YURI is missing the "c" in
OC48c.

2) Because of 1, no. I can see vendors using YURI to aggregate FORE's
OC48 support into OC192 connections and the like. So YURI is
complimentary to FOREs.

3) Yes.

4) Use ATM and possibly GigE in the backbone (if the cost is justified
but primarily ATM. Avoid ATM to the desktop...use GigE for low
cost high speed connections that quality of service doesn't
matter (too much) and use high speed ATM to the servers.
One size does not fit all!

5) Ignore IP and ATM.....place IP onto of ATM. ATM provides a higher
level of communication flexibility and guarentees. If you don't
need that level in part of the network then you don't use.

Alas you make a link based on short term costs and discover that
later the business grows unexpectantly and now your link is
suffering....so you might as well put in ATM to begin with....

Phone calls are ATM....there is a mind set problem which is going
to take a long time plus people don't talk about ATM in terms of
"billing" for calls....there is intermixing there....but it is
difficult at the moment.

6) Don't know or possibly understand.

7) Segmenting the product lines for WAN vs LAN is short sighted. The
LAN is moving to the WAN and vice versa....the question is where
does the enterprise LAN end and the carrier WAN begin...and who is
the carrier...AT&T or a new fast moving company.

8) Don't know.
