For most of us that I've heard use the term, this is not an "ATM
firewall". Although I cannot speak for anyone else, I think that to
call something like this an ATM firewall is deceptive. What *I* mean
when I use that term is something that can act as a firewall while
passing packets *at ATM speed*. While I would agree that something that
can at least pass packets at or close to FDDI speed is worthy of note,
this is not an "ATM firewall" by any reasonable definition.
