IPoA

IP over ATM (IPoA) enables ATM to carry IP packets. In an IPoA implementation, ATM serves as the data link layer protocol for the IP hosts on the same network. To enable these hosts to communicate across an ATM network, IP packets must be encapsulated in ATM cells.

By making full use of the advantages of ATM, IPoA delivers excellent network performance and ubiquitous mature QoS assurance.
