"Good" ATM switches are doing Early Packet Discard and Partial Packet Discard. You can ask your favorite switch vendor for details, or look at the following for a nice summary: http://www.fore.com/html/atm-edu/whitep/FTBMWP.html -tjs I am not quite sure how an ATM switch becomes a "packet shredder," or even what a "packet shredder" is...
It becomes a packet shredder when it doesn't do EPD/PPD, dropping a small percentage of cells on overload but a large percentage of packets. You have to overprovision to start with. Also in the "dead horse dept" (I hope) unless you are dealing with boneheaded switch vendors. Some don't believe in EPD/PPD preferring ABR. Are any of them still entirely clueless in this regard and not doing either EPD/PPD or ABR? Curtis ps- still kind of partial to RED myself. :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
