<<But POS technology uses familiar link-layer protocols to achieve the same high bandwidth and scalability as ATM. With POS, IP traffic (or any other Layer 3 protocol) runs over PPP (point-to-point protocol) or HDLC (high-level data link control), just as it would with other types of WAN circuits like leased lines. These link-layer protocols in turn run directly over Sonet. (Actually, IP over Sonet uses HDLC framing and PPP's link control protocol. The spec is defined in IETF RFC 1619.)>> Do you think this is anything like the "Ford POS" as stated in Men In Black? <BG> It went fast!!!
