I doubt ATM will fade away in the next generation of networks. It does have some difficulties with setting up services like auto-configuration using multicasting over the network which will be important when IPv6 comes out with neighbor discovery. Doesn't ATM need SONET to send information over long distances via fiber optics? From what I'm learning so far I think that IP protocol will run over ATM via SONET for long distance transmissions.

Well just my comments from a university student.

DW,

You may want to look into the efforts to create QoS on IP. with Diffserv, RSVP, RTP, and IP Precendence bits. I agree that QoS on IP will never equal that of ATM, but the question will be "is the difference noticable to the user?". If not, then the carriers will opt for the most cost effective implementation. It's an interesting area to watch....
