<abstract>
<t>The discussions of the IP over ATM working group over the last several years have produced a diverse set of proposals, some of which are no longer under active consideration.  A categorization is provided for the purpose of focusing discussion on the various proposals for IP over ATM deemed of primary interest by the IP over ATM working group.  The intent of this framework is to help clarify the differences between proposals and identify common features in order to promote convergence to a smaller and more mutually compatible set of standards.  In summary, it is hoped that this document, in classifying ATM approaches and issues will help to focus the IP over ATM working group's direction.</t></abstract></front>
