I doubt that evan Vadim is ignorant enough to be saying ATM never worked ... not the usual statement one would make of the default campus core technology.
The last time i checked the default campus core technology was Ethernet. Anyway, there's a saying at NASA (thanks, Milo :) that given enough thrust even pigs can fly. What i said is not that ATM cannot be made to work in some limited environments, but rather that it is going to the junkyard of overhyped technologies which tured out to be more expensive and less reliable than simpler and dumber rivals. --vadim
