Here is another general ATM article ATM looks for niche in LAN/WAN market infoworld.com "If you're a service provider and you have to handle both IP and other traffic, ATM is the best solution," said Ron Jeffries, principal analyst at Jeffries Research, in Arroyo Grande, Calif. Because ATM can transparently carry non-IP traffic, many service providers that turn to pure IP will maintain parallel ATM networks, he said. But IP and Ethernet are unlikely to match ATM's capability to carry voice, video, and data, another analyst predicted. "You'll be able to do 90 percent of what an ATM network delivers, but it'll never be as good as ATM on multimedia," said Michael Howard, president of Infonetics, in San Jose. "ATM is here for the long run, but it won't be the overall winner anywhere," Howard said. --- Mike
