Configuring applications carried by ATM
As shown in Table 6, although ATM can carry multiple protocols, a specific encapsulation type might not support ATM applications (such as IPoA, IPoEoA, PPPoA, and PPPoEoA).
Table 6: Encapsulation type support for ATM applications
ATM application | aal5snap | aal5mux | aal5nlpid |
|---|---|---|---|
IPoA | Supported | Supported (InARPoA not supported) | Supported (InARPoA not supported) |
IPoEoA | Supported | Supported | Not supported |
PPPoA | Supported | Supported | Not supported |
PPPoEoA | Supported | Supported | Not supported |
![[NOTE: ]](images/note.png) | NOTE: When aal5snap is used, a PVC or PVC group can carry two or more protocols at the same time. When aal5mux is used, a PVC or PVC group supports only one protocol at a time. | |
