Chapter 1 Overview Network Layer Concepts — LAN Emulation The following Sections describe the LAN emulation and ATM adaptation concepts behind the network layer architecture of a typical ATM network. Chapter 2 describes how to plan your ATM network and provides some examples of where to use the ATM access module within an ATM network. LAN Emulation Overview LAN Emulation (LANE) is a method of connecting LAN users over an ATM network which enables them to communicate with each other as if the

Chapter 1 Overview LAN Emulation Server (LES) The LES coordinates and controls an Emulated LAN. It provides the central “directory” service of an emulated LAN to which a LEC can turn to look up the ATM address of another LEC. The LES directory contains a table of LAN destinations (LAN destination refers to either a MAC address or a Route Descriptor) together with the ATM addresses of the LECs that represent them. In order to transmit a data frame to a particular LAN destination, the LEC sen
