LANE: LAN Emulation

LAN Emulation (LANE) is a technology that allows an ATM network to function as a LAN backbone. The ATM network must provide multicast and broadcast support, address mapping (MAC-to-ATM), SVC management, and a usable packet format. LANE also defines Ethernet and Token Ring Emulated LANs (ELANs).
