Windows ATM services defined

  • An ATM UNI Call Manager that conforms to ATM Forum specifications for signaling over ATM and supports the creation of switched virtual circuits (SVCs) and permanent virtual circuits (PVCs).

  • Updated NDIS 5.0 ATM miniport drivers that display the Designed for Microsoft® Windows® logo and provide limited support for installed ATM adapter hardware. For more information, see Designed for Microsoft Windows logo.

  • A LAN emulation client module that conforms to the ATM Forum LANE 1.0 specification, enabling existing programs and protocols designed for use on Ethernet and Token Ring networks to run without modification over an ATM network.

  • An ARP/MARS service that enables the Microsoft TCP/IP stack to resolve ATM addresses to hardware addresses for more direct and efficient use of ATM media. The IP-over-ATM module conforms to RFC specifications for Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) over ATM media, as well as support for a multicast address resolution service (MARS).

  • Enhanced support for TAPI-based programs and services.

  • Support for raw channel access filtering that can be used in program environments that include DirectStreaming.

  • Expanded support for PPP dial-up over ATM media, enabling you to create and use a PPP dial-up connection over any supported ATM adapter that is installed in a computer running a Windows Server 2003 operating system. This feature provides support for ATM over DSL, ATM over cable modem, and other ATM on-demand connectivity possibilities.

  • Access to native ATM services with Winsock 2.0 over ATM. Available through the Windows Sockets ATM Service Provider, Winsock 2.0 allows direct access to ATM services from user-mode programs. It also allows programs that use TCP/IP as a transport protocol to run over ATM networks and interoperate with standard LAN-based IP clients.

  • Encapsulated Ethernet over a permanent virtual connection (PVC), which enables the transmission of Ethernet packets across a PVC on an ATM network adapter. It accomplishes this by acting as an Ethernet adapter to the TCP/IP protocol and using the PVC on the ATM adapter to transfer Ethernet packets.
