<abstract>
<t>This memo describes the ATM call control signaling exchanges needed to support Classical IP over ATM implementations as described in RFC 1577. ATM endpoints will incorporate ATM signaling services as specified in the ATM Forum User-Network Interface (UNI) Specification Version 3.1. IP over ATM implementations utilize the services of local ATM signaling entities to establish and release ATM connections. This memo should be used to define the support required by IP over ATM implementations from their local ATM signaling entities.</t>
<t>This document is an implementors guide intended to foster interoperability among RFC 1577, RFC 1483, and UNI ATM signaling.  It applies to IP hosts and routers which are also ATM endsystems and assumes ATM networks that completely implement the ATM Forum UNI Specification Version 3.1. Unless explicitly stated, no distinction is made between the Private and Public UNI.</t>
<t>UNI 3.1 is considered an erratum to the UNI 3.0 specification. It has been produced by the ATM Forum, largely for reasons of alignment with Recommendation Q.2931. Although UNI 3.1 is based on UNI 3.0 there are several changes that make the two versions incompatible. A description of how to support IP over ATM using UNI 3.0 is found in Appendix B.</t></abstract></front>
