Juha, Let me not speculate about all the various scenarios where the strengths and weaknesses of IP over ATM vs IP over SONET might vary. I addressed only the trans-oceanic very high delay-bandwidth product links, where I think the case is particularly strong. -- Guy At 11:11 AM 9/24/96 +0300, Juha Heinanen wrote:
when we talk about a link between two routers that will be saturated immediately, atm doesn't give advantage over sonet. the situation becomes different, when one wants to build a mesh network where the traffic load betweeen the various nodes of the mesh varies and the physical interface speed is fast enough to handle traffic between several nodes simultaneously.
