ATM for BSD Sources
The following text provided by Chuck Cranor. The BSD ATM source code provides support for TCP/IP and native mode ATM over PVCs with minimal changes to the kernel. Longer term, it will be part of the main NetBSD/OpenBSD distributions (maybe FreeBSD as well?) NetBSD and OpenBSD

ATM on Linux Distribution from LRC
This site also includes references to the ATM on Linux mailing list, archives for this mailing list, and several relevant research papers.

ATM for Linux - KU ATM Tool Chest from the University of Kansas

NIST's ATM Simulator (README) and the directory containing the binaries

ATM Toolkit from UIUC.
x-ATM is a portable toolkit of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) protocols implemented in the x-kernel.

The toolkit provides an environment for experimentation with


CELLWARE
(Commercial) - CELLWARE develops software to implement various ATM functions (e.g. Q.2931) and has a number of hardware products as well.

Harris & Jeffries
(Commercial) Harris & Jeffries provides software to implement the following: ATM Signalling, ILMI, LAN Emulation Client, LAN Emulation Server, IP Over ATM (RFC 1577), Frame Relay-to-ATM Network Interworking (FRF.5), Frame Relay-to-ATM Service Interworking (FRF.8), and ATM PNNI routing software.

IDLInet
Native mode ATM protocol stack.


Nvatm from NERO
A patched version of Ron Fredrick's NV developed by Project Livewire of the NERO project that allows users of Fore Systems switches (using SPANS) to use the NV MBONE tool.


PVM-ATM from Computer Science Dept., Univ. of Minnesota (PVM=Parallel Virtual Machine.)

Ptolemy Simulation Software from University of California at Berkeley.
The Ptolemy software environment has been used for a broad range of applications including signal processing, telecommunications, parallel processing, wireless communications, network design, radio astronomy, real time systems, and hardware/software co-design. Ptolemy has also been used as a laboratory for signal processing and communications courses. Currently Ptolemy has hundreds of active users at over 100 sites in industry, academia, and government.

Q.port Portable Signalling Software from Bellcore
(Commercial) Q.port is a portable implementation of the protocols, call control, and other functions necessary to add Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC) capabilities to your products.

Trillium Digital Systems, Inc.
