A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Internetworking Over NBMA
Working Group of the IETF.
Title : ATM Signalling Support for IP over ATM -
UNI Signalling 4.0 Update
Author(s) : M. Maher
Filename : draft-ietf-ion-sig-uni4.0-04.txt
Pages : 26
Date : 05/29/1997
This memo describes how to efficiently use the ATM call control signalling
procedures defined in UNI Signalling 4.0 [SIG40] to support IP over ATM
environments as described in RFC 1577 [LAUB94] and in [LUC97]. Among the
new features found in UNI Signalling 4.0 are Available Bit Rate signalling
and traffic parameter negotiation. This draft highlights the features of
UNI Signalling 4.0 that provide IP entities capabilities for requesting ATM
service in sites with SVC support, whether it is private ATM or publicly
provisioned ATM, in which case the SVC support is probably configured
inside PVPs.
This document is only relevant to IP when used as the well known
"best effort" connectionless service. In particular, this means that
this document does not pertain to IP in the presence of implemented
IP Integrated Services. The topic of IP with Integrated Services
over ATM will be handled by a different specification or set of
specifications being worked on in the ISSLL WG.
This specification is follow-on to RFC 1755, "ATM Signaling Support
for IP over ATM", which is based on UNI 3.1 signalling [UNI95].
Readers are assumed to be familiar with RFC 1755.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ion-sig-uni4.0-04.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
