Re: Very fast IP, no ATM...

["Paul Christ" <]

Hi, all of you,

ok, congratulation, 'no ATM'  - but:

Don't you feel sometimes in all this fine argumentation against ATM
a certain intellektuelle Unredlichkeit (intellectual dishonesty)?

Why?

'ATM said' from the beginning: We can do everything - the
telephone system, eventually the video distribution and data.

Did anybody in the `integrated services packet network' camp
claim: We can run the world-wide telephone system say by IPv6
over SDH?

(or would this be a non-goal?, or do we say, ATM also
  wouldn't run the phone system, and so on;
 years ago we had IBM's
  packet transfer mode ... and so on)


Yours


Paul Christ
