FATE (Frame-based ATM Transport over Ethernet)

A specification from the ATM Forum (Feb-

ruary 2000 and July 2002) that allows ATM Adaptation Layer Type 5 (AAL5) services to be provided over Ethernet by transporting ATM data within an Ethernet frame. FATE has particular application in the context of an ATM-based ADSL environment interfacing to an Ethernet local area network (LAN) through a switch or hub on the customer premises.
