-
- This release of the IRIS ATM software has the following
- limitations.
-
- +o Each IRIS ATM-OC3c board simultaneously supports a
- maximum of 39 transmit-only and 34 receive-only virtual
- channels, or 34 bidirectional VCs (for example, 34 PVCs
- in the _p_v_c._c_o_n_f file for IP traffic over port 0).
-
- +o Each IRIS ATM-OC3c 4Port XIO board simultaneously
- supports a maximum of 64 transmit-only and 64 receive-
- only virtual CBR channels, or 64 bidirectional CBR VCs.
- The max number of bidirectional VC's is 256.
-
- +o The IRIS ATM driver does not support IP broadcast
- addresses. This means that the ATM network interfaces
- (_a_t_m_0, _a_t_m_1, etc.) do not support BOOTP, NIS, RIP,
- _t_i_m_e_d, _g_a_t_e_d, OSPF, and the multicast version of NTP
- (which all use broadcast addresses as part of their
- normal operation).

-
-
-
- +o The IRIS ATM driver cannot function as the primary
- interface on a system operating with the IP suite of
- network protocols.
-
- +o This release of IRIS ATM does not support the Raw
- Network Family. Applications that use the Snoop or
- Drain protocols cannot run over the _a_t_m# interfaces.
-
- +o When the IRIS ATM driver is a leaf node at the
- receiving end of a point-to-multipoint connection, it
- does not support ADD_PARTY requests for that
- connection. Specifically, IRIS ATM accepts the initial
- SETUP request that adds the system to a multicast call,
- but does not support additional requests to add that
- same system to the same call.
-
- +o On Origin/Onyx2 systems, running a multiboard maximum
- bandwidth system requires the use of node cards with a
- Hub ver. 2.3 or higher.
