IPoEoA

IP over Ethernet over ATM (IPoEoA) adopts a three-layer architecture, with IP encapsulation at the top layer, IP over Ethernet (IPoE) in the middle, and IPoEoA at the bottom.

IPoEoA is suitable where Ethernet packets are to be forwarded through ATM interfaces. In IPoEoA applications, you can associate multiple PVCs with one Layer 3 virtual Ethernet (VE) interface and PVCs associated with the same VE interface are interconnected at Layer 2.
