This document discusses how IP data is carried over an ATM network. It explains that IP datagrams are encapsulated into ATM cells using AAL5. The cells are then routed individually through the ATM network based on their addresses to the exiting point router. ATMARP is used to map IP addresses to physical ATM addresses to allow cells to be properly delivered from entering to exiting point routers across the ATM network. Logical IP subnets can also be defined to facilitate protocols like ATMARP that require simulating broadcast domains.
