Ken,
most of routers mentioned in the article positioned at the edge of Internet's core. The core of Internet that is not there yet but is forming will be based on some mix of ATM, FR and PacketOverSonet will work at OC192, OC-48 speeds. Providers will have to aggregate multiple OC-3 and OC-12 incoming into this core cloud. And at the edge of this new core we'll see thousands of thousands T1/T3. This infrastructure is not there yet and '99 promise to be very interesting and exciting year.
And not to start another religious war on ATM vs. IP, I just point that ATM is not the only transport method to offer QoS. And it's not always necessary to do QoS in order to have low latency and jitter delay. If you can through more bandwidth "best effort" might work just fine without adding extra complexity to control path.
Regards,
chechaco
