    The RSVP group at ISI is looking at these issues.  Right now we are
    concentrating on the second issue ("reference configurations" other
    than #1).  We will be talking about our status in the IP over ATM
    working group meeting at the Dallas IETF.

Steve:
    
    Now that's interesting, since I've always thought IP QoS over ATM
was an INT SERV problem to solve.  Basically RSVP (like any other
reservation protocol) tells the IP layer what service it wants, and the
IP layer negotiates with ATM to get the right thing underneath.

    Why is RSVP directly involved with ATM?  (I'm curious here, not
trying to pick a turf war -- trying to understand where our architectural
views differ).
