It depends on your application requirements. Do you have any applications
that require guaranteed levels of QoS? Do you have applications with other
requirements that only ATM can support, and/or that justify the additional
cost and complexity of ATM?
For the most part, we rarely recommend ATM in LAN environments anymore. You
might want to view my presentation on LAN architectures that I gave at this
past Networld+Interop in Las Vegas. See http://www.dc.net/ilazar/ to

Subject: ATM vs Gigabit Ethernet
Hi all,
I'm working in the project with CableModem Network, the topology is very
simple five HUBs with CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) in Fast Ethernet
each one, 10k users and fiber links among all points. The network in this
first stage is only for data service, which technology I use, ATM or Gigabit
Ethernet in the backbone ? Why ? Could you send me a link with white paper
or case study?
Thanks in advance.
