Abstract
Asynchronous Transfer Mode Local Area Network (ATM LAN). The ATM LAN is implemented as a set of MAC entities which share a common group address space for the purposes of establishing multicast connections. Each station has one or more ATM MAC entities per physical connection to an ATM network. The network ATM LAN service provides the station with ATM LAN configuration information needed for ATM MAC operation. Included in this information is the number of ATM LANs the network has configured for that station.
