This document specifies a method for allowing ATM-attached hosts
that have direct ATM connectivity to set up end-to-end IP over ATM
connections within the reachable ATM cloud, on request from
applications, and for the exclusive use by the requesting
applications.

IESG Note: This RFC has not had the benefit of the rigorous peer
review that is part of the process in an IETF working group.  The
technology it describes has been implemented and is now undergoing
testing. It would be wise to analyze the results of this testing as
well as to understand alternatives before committing to this approach
for IP over ATM with QoS guarantees.
