Hi,

I am not an expert in ATM security or ATM for that matter, but as part
of a review I am doing the following statement has been made. On face
value I don't agree with it but was wondering if any one had any
comments:

Background - describing ATM connection between two companies over a
telco public with 2 hops one on a Public ATM link then one on a
Private ATM link on private Virtual Circuits.

"The network is built on a high-speed backbone making data snooping
extremely difficult. The only viable access points where data streams
can be monitored are in fact the Company 1 or Company 2 controlled
data centres where the network is broken down to the TCP/IP level."

Thanks.
