|  | 8 | ATM is a high-speed networking technology for Local Area Networks | 
|  | 9 | and Wide Area Networks.  It uses a fixed packet size and is | 
|  | 10 | connection oriented, allowing for the negotiation of minimum | 
|  | 11 | bandwidth requirements. | 
|  | 12 |  | 
|  | 13 | In order to participate in an ATM network, your Linux box needs an | 
|  | 14 | ATM networking card. If you have that, say Y here and to the driver | 
|  | 15 | of your ATM card below. | 
|  | 16 |  | 
|  | 17 | Note that you need a set of user-space programs to actually make use | 
|  | 18 | of ATM.  See the file <file:Documentation/networking/atm.txt> for | 
|  | 19 | further details. |

|  | 34 | Normally, an "ICMP host unreachable" message is sent if a neighbour | 
|  | 35 | cannot be reached because there is no VC to it in the kernel's | 
|  | 36 | ATMARP table. This may cause problems when ATMARP table entries are | 
|  | 37 | briefly removed during revalidation. If you say Y here, packets to | 
|  | 38 | such neighbours are silently discarded instead. |
