This memo defines an initial application of IP and ARP in an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network environment configured as a Logical IP Subnetwork (LIS) as described in Section 3. This memo does not preclude the subsequent development of ATM technology into areas other than a LIS; specifically, as single ATM networks grow to replace many ethernet local LAN segments and as these networks become globally connected, the application of IP and ARP will be treated differently. This memo considers only the application of ATM as a direct replacement for the wires and local LAN segments connecting IP end-stations (members) and routers operating in the classical LAN-based paradigm. Issues raised by MAC level bridging and LAN emulation are beyond the scope of this paper.
