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 ------------------------------------ On Sep 23, 10:26am, Guy T Almes wrote:
Subject: Re: Very fast IP, no ATM... Peter, Congratulations. This pleases me greatly. The success of the January 1994 trans-pacific T3 link from California to Hawaii by ANS was, in part, also due to taking advantage of direct IP over T3 frames. -- Guy p.s.: have you any measures of IP-level throughput over this link?

Was the worlds first transatlantic 155Mbit native IP service brought into operation by Sprint/USA and Tele2/Sweden.
The circiut wich is part of Sprintlink and ICMnet runs between the NY-Nap in Pennsauken, NJ, USA and Tele2 in Sweden and uses cisco packet-over-sonet/sdh technology. (Native IP over SDH/VC4)
In 1995 the same team from Sprint and Tele2 brought up the worlds first transatlantic E3 service between the same endpoints.
