ATM-25 Network Module
The ATM-25 network module (see Figure 1) provides ATM traffic shaping for use with asymmetric
digital subscriber line (ADSL) uplink speeds, and protocol support for permanent virtual circuit (PVC)
environments. The network module provides full support for multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM
Adaptive Layer 5 (RFC 1483), classic IP over ATM encapsulation (RFC 1577), and Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) over ATM.
