Minutes of ATM BOF at AIW7

Gary Dudley opened the BOF with a short recap of the BOF at AIW6.  Then,
he gave a presentation of the IBM view of the goals and requirements for
native APPN/ATM.  The presentation covered the following:

- Comparison of native APPN with LAN emulation and frame relay "network"
  interworking
- Interoperability agreements required
- Route selection extensions
- Connection network model extensions
- Link definition extensions and customer strategies
- Requirements for "smart" applications

Wayne Clark compiled and submitted the following additional requirements:

- COS to QoS mapping
- Bandwidth allocation for APPN
- Coordination of ARB parameter selection with ATM congestion control

There was a lively discussion.  Topics covered included:

- LLC design
- API changes required for "smart" applications
- Definition of ATM parameters
- Relationship of APPN links and ATM SVCs
- Use of RFC 1483 headers
- ATM APIs
- Relationship of TRS and route selection to bandwidth reservation

There seemed to be general agreement that:

- It's ok for HPR to be a prerequisite for native APPN/ATM.  LAN
  emulation and frame relay interworking are satisfactory for ISR
  traffic.
- APPC and CPIC changes are required for "smart" applications.  Use
  of mode names is not sufficient.

There also seemed to be general agreement that the AIW should develop
native APPN/ATM architecture.  IBM agreed to submit a proposal
for native APPN/ATM and requested input via the mail exploder.

It was also agreed that any APPN/ATM formats would be handled informally
by the ATM BOF and the Public Datanet SIGLET of the APPN Reference
SIG until formal deliverables are defined.

These are very good information to may people. Is there anyway for
the interested community to have access to the information   
electronically,
i.e., FTP, WWW or gopher.

Thanks!8-)

Hai.
