PPP over ATM

Hey all,

Here's an example of how ppp over ATM can be configured:

Using virtual templates:

interface virtual-template 1
   encapsulation ppp
   ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
interface atm 3/0
   no ip address
   pvc 0/100
   encapsulation aal5ciscoppp virtual-template 1

I have a few questions about this.

1) Is this the only way to config ppp aver ATM? If not, what other ways are
there?

2) Is there an example of this way somewhere on the Doc CD or should I just
memorize this?

3) In the above example, will broadcast and multicast, by default transit
over this interface or are there additional config commands which are
necessary for that type of traffic? If so, what?

4) What are the pro's and con's of config ppp over ATM?

5) Could someone explain the underlying logic of the above config or point
me to where I can find out and learn what's going on here?

All feedback would be greatly appreciated, PM
