Comments anyone?? I don't read anything here about the death of ATM, and how about the reference of Telcordia (formerly Bell Labs) surely not - I thought this was a CSCO coup.. full article at techweb.com “There seems to be a disconnect between [Sprint's] objective and its architecture,” said Tom Nolle, president of consultancy CIMI Corp. “[Sprint] is talking about tying ION to the flexibility of services offered; the problem is that it is still presenting these services in an ATM-level context.” It's not a decision between writing ATM or IP applications, Kaplan said. “They will co-exist, with ATM at the transport layer and IP at the application. IP applications will remain where they are, but they will gain ATM's ability to control traffic flow and give customers QoS.” To that end, ION improvements in version 2.0 will center on management and monitoring applications to be developed by Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bell Labs); and routers, digital subscriber line access multiplexers and other customer premises equipment designed by Cisco. Cisco also will build a central processor capable of distributing voice-over-ATM in a device to be developed by Telcordia, Kaplan said.
