    Hi,
    
    One of our largest customers in Brazil is considering the use of
    VNswitches and ATMswitches on their site. They have a question:
    
    Data Communications magazine has published in September,1996 an article
    with test results of some ATM switches and edge devices, in a Lan
    Emulation configuration. Digital was not one of the tested companies.
    He would like to know if we have some performance numbers for our
    equipments. The test is illustrated below.
    
                +---------+              +---------+
    Ethernet ---|         |              |         |--- Ethernet
    Ethernet ---| Edge    | ATM BAckbone | Edge    |--- Ethernet
       ...      | ATM/Eth |--------------| ATM/Eth |      ...
    Ethernet ---|         |              |         |--- Ethernet
                +---------+              +---------+
    
    Does anyone has some similar test results that could be shown to the
    customer, or any pointer to some article with this kind of tests on
    Digital equipments?
    
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    
    Best regards,
    
    Roberto
