IPv6 over ATM Networks
RFC 2492, “IPv6 over ATM Networks”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 1999 by G. Armitage, P. Schulter, M. Jork. It has since been updated by RFC 8064. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document is a companion to the ION working group's architecture document, "IPv6 over Non Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA) networks". It provides specific details on how to apply the IPv6 over NBMA architecture to ATM networks. This architecture allows conventional host-side operation of the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol, while also supporting the establishment of 'shortcut' ATM forwarding paths (when using SVCs). Operation over administratively configured Point to Point PVCs is also supported. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
