This memo describes the ATM call control signaling exchanges needed to
support Classical IP over ATM implementations as described in RFC
1577.  ATM endpoints will incorporate ATM signaling services as
specified in the ATM Forum User-Network Interface (UNI) Specification
Version 3.1.  IP over ATM implementations utilize the services of
local ATM signaling entities to establish and release ATM connections.
This memo should be used to define the support required by IP over ATM
implementations from their local ATM signaling entities.  This RFC is
a product of the IP over Asynchronous Transfer Mode Working Group of
the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@CNRI.RESTON.VA.US.  Requests to be
added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
be sent to RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
