Abstract
This document provides guidelines for mapping service classes, and
traffic management features and parameters between Internet and ATM
technologies. The service mappings are useful for providing
effective interoperation and end-to-end Quality of Service for IP
Integrated Services networks containing ATM subnetworks.
The discussion and specifications given here support the IP
integrated services protocols for Guaranteed Service (GS),
Controlled-Load Service (CLS) and the ATM Forum UNI specification,
versions 3.0, 3.1 and 4.0. Some discussion of IP best effort service
over ATM is also included.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1]. (Note,
in many cases the use of "MUST" or "REQUIRED" reflects our
interpretation of the requirements of a related standard, e.g., ATM
Forum UNI 4.0, rsvp, etc.)
