Bridged-routed connect: the magic
There are several variants of routed pdus across
different platforms, mostly also useless to us.
But on 6500 OSM blades Cisco has developed a
1483 bridged/routed encap that does just what
we wanted: allow ethernets to connect to atms.
Uses proxy arp and other ugly stuff internally.
Best part was that we only needed it for the
transition, so we borrowed the $60K blade for 6
months & then returned it when all atm gone.
