TRANSPARENT LAN SERVICE
Transparent LAN service functions like a point-to-point connection between LANs, using
thehigher-level protocols. Transparent LAN service encapsulates Ethernet traffic, converts
it in to ATM cells, then sends it across the ATM backbone to the target destination where
thedata is converted back into Ethernet packets. Ethernet traffic carried over a Transparent
LAN service is not modified in any way, nor is it looked at by any of the ATM devices during
transmission. Therefore, it is a very secure way to transmit data using multiple protocols
(IP,IPX) across the WAN.
