When I catch up with my clip code, then ngATM can everything that HARP can (except for SPANs signalling. Does anybody actually still use that?). Plus it has UNI4.0 instead of 3.1, it has LAN emulation and it should be trivial to support PPPoA, PPPoEoA or what ever crazy combination one could think of. There are also ideas to implement MPLS and other stuff. And ngATM works on sparc64 and probably our other platforms too. Even a short look at HARP shows that it will be a lot of work to find all the places that assume sizeof(x) == sizeof(y) for several combinations of types x and y (pointers, int, long). With regard to drivers: I'm going to busdmaify the en driver. I think I have an LE155 card somewher here, so I will tackle the IDT driver after that. When this is done, we have all that is supported with HARP also in ngATM. harti -- harti brandt, http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/cats/employees/hartmut.brandt/private brandt@fokus.fraunhofer.de, harti@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-atm" in the body of the message
