We will hit limitations of the present/then-future routing technology long before we'll exhaust the possibilities to increase the NAP aggregate and access bandwidth by cheap incremental upgrades. That's the whole point of Sprint NAP architecture. ATM/SMDS/Flame Delay do not get even close to what we achieve (and ATM is not useful yet).
Doesn't Sprint plan on offering an ATM service, and doesn't MFS Datanet provide an ATM backbone service? George Clapp voice: 708-765-2360 fax: 708-765-3350 email: clapp@ameris.ameritech.com

Do you know any happy customers? No traffic equals no scaling problems. Right? Did you see Tim's NANOG presentation? Seems they are having enough trouble getting ATM to work in a point to point configuration on a real network (with delay). Matches our NAP test findings as well. Not that ATM is hopeless, just the equipment may not be quite ready for 1994 deployment in a critical Internet exchange point carrying lots of TCP wide area traffic. I think that is still an open question (deploy first, figure out if it will work later?). Curtis
