Layer 3 Switching Using MSS and MSS Release 2.2 Enhancements

This redbook describes the new functions of MSS Version 2 Release 2. With this release of code and the new ATM-attached Ethernet switches it is now possible to use the available ATM standards across IBMÆs network portfolio.

The first section of this book is a discussion of Layer 3 Switching: what it is and how it applies to ATM networks. The section ends with examples of practical implementations of Layer 3 Switching using IP, IPX, token-ring and Ethernet networks across an ATM backbone.

The second section of this book discusses the specific changes made in the latest release of MSS software and hardware, with examples where applicable.

The redbook will help you to implement Layer 3 Switching across ATM networks, especially with new hardware such as the 8371 Multilayer Ethernet Switch. It will also help you understand the concepts underlying Multiprotocol over ATM, why it is in many cases an improvement over Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) and is strategic in IBMÆs vision of networking using ATM.
