ATM SAP-to-SAP Service
ATM VLLs can be configured with both endpoints (SAPs) on the same 7705 SAR. This is
referred to as ATM SAP-to-SAP or local ATM service. ATM SAP-to-SAP emulates local
ATM switching between two ATM endpoints on the 7705 SAR. Both ingress and egress
traffic is legacy ATM traffic.
An ATM SAP-to-SAP connection is set up in the 7705 SAR and a pseudowire is configured
between the two endpoints. One endpoint of the SAP connection can be an IMA group,
while the other endpoint can be an unbundled port.

Note: ATM SAP-to-SAP connections are supported between any T1/E1 ASAP port that is in
access mode with ATM/IMA encapsulation and another port with the same encapsulation
configuration. One endpoint of a SAP connection can be an IMA group, while the other
endpoint can be on a single ATM port.
ATM SAP-to-SAP connections are also supported between any two OC3/STM1 ports and
between any T1/E1 ASAP port and OC3/STM1 port, as long as both SAPs support ATM.
