Proposes generic requirements for operations of ATM NEs. Focuses on requirements needed for BSSs but the requirements in this GR are applicable to any type of NE that processes ATM cells. Issue 4 reflects progress made in the areas of national and international standards on ATM such as extensions to ITU-T Recommendation 1.610, ATM Forum M4 NE View Requirements and Logical MIB, Version 2 and the ATM Forum IMA specifications. Deal with service-independent ATM operations capabilities needed by an ATM NE that provide support for Permanent Virtual Connection (PVC) Cell Relay Service, Switched Virtual Connection (SVC) Cell Relay Service, Switched Multi-megabit Data Service (SMDS), PVC Frame Relay Service, and Circuit Emulation Service.
