Functionally, a device is divided into the device
controller and the ForeSwitchApp. The
ForeSwitchApp is grouped by function into the
ATM network with the ForeUserApp, which is
itself contained within a user node such as a
multi-homed workstation.
A multi-homed workstation is a workstation
containing firmware that makes it part of the
Ethernet and ATM networks to which it is
connected. Therefore, the workstation’s
ForeUserApp provides the connection between the
ATM network and the Ethernet LAN.
