Have you read the two RFC's?

Subject: Struggling with ATM

I'm hoping that someone can help clear things up for me.

I'm reviewing the ATM connectivity chapter (7) of the CCIE Practical
Studies: Security book.

I'm struggling to find the differences between RFC 2684:Multiprotocol encap
over AAL5 vs RFC 2225: Classical IP and ARP over ATM.

In an IP only world ( of which the security lab is one) I don't see any
difference in the configuration except for the inclusion of an inarp timeout
value in the latter. ( at least in the book )

I'm trying to decipher how they could phrase a question that would lead you
to choose one over the other.

Can someone point out the differences that I am obviously missing so I can
come up with a decision matrix?

I don't want answers to the CCIE lab, but rather what lead you to choose one
method over the other?

Right now the only thing I can think of is PVC autodiscovery, and the
inclusion/exclusion of an ATMARP server.

Thanks

Larry
