Thanks, to the several that pointed out that ATM is dead in such an environment. I know that. What I mean is in the case where it is already in place, how do they do it? Assuming for whatever I reason I do not want to or cannot get rid of the ATM as the campus link, how is such a thing configured? Which of the techniques I listed do most people use? Or is there some other method I have yet to hear about? Is there just one way to do this? Does everybody with such an ATM link use LANE, if IP is the only thing they need to send?
