   8           ATM is a high-speed networking technology for Local Area Networks
   9           and Wide Area Networks.  It uses a fixed packet size and is
  10           connection oriented, allowing for the negotiation of minimum
  11           bandwidth requirements.
  12
  13           In order to participate in an ATM network, your Linux box needs an
  14           ATM networking card. If you have that, say Y here and to the driver
  15           of your ATM card below.
  16
  17           Note that you need a set of user-space programs to actually make use
  18           of ATM.  See the file <file:Documentation/networking/atm.txt> for
  19           further details.

  25           Classical IP over ATM for PVCs and SVCs, supporting InARP and
  26           ATMARP. If you want to communication with other IP hosts on your ATM
  27           network, you will typically either say Y here or to "LAN Emulation
  28           (LANE)" below.

  30 config ATM_CLIP_NO_ICMP
  31         bool "Do NOT send ICMP if no neighbour"
  32         depends on ATM_CLIP
  33         help
  34           Normally, an "ICMP host unreachable" message is sent if a neighbour
  35           cannot be reached because there is no VC to it in the kernel's
  36           ATMARP table. This may cause problems when ATMARP table entries are
  37           briefly removed during revalidation. If you say Y here, packets to
  38           such neighbours are silently discarded instead.

  40 config ATM_LANE

  43         help
  44           LAN Emulation emulates services of existing LANs across an ATM
  45           network. Besides operating as a normal ATM end station client, Linux
  46           LANE client can also act as an proxy client bridging packets between
  47           ELAN and Ethernet segments. You need LANE if you want to try MPOA.

  52         help
  53           Multi-Protocol Over ATM allows ATM edge devices such as routers,
  54           bridges and ATM attached hosts establish direct ATM VCs across
  55           subnetwork boundaries. These shortcut connections bypass routers
  56           enhancing overall network performance.

  58 config ATM_BR2684

  62           ATM PVCs can carry ethernet PDUs according to RFC2684 (formerly 1483)
  63           This device will act like an ethernet from the kernels point of view,
  64           with the traffic being carried by ATM PVCs (currently 1 PVC/device).
  65           This is sometimes used over DSL lines.  If in doubt, say N.

  71           This is an experimental mechanism for users who need to terminate a
  72           large number of IP-only vcc's.  Do not enable this unless you are sure
  73           you know what you are doing.
