Initially developed for IP over ATM, the RFC 2022 (MARS) model is also
applicable to other NBMA networks that provide the equivalent of
switched, point to multipoint connections. This short document is
intended to state the obvious equivalences, and explain the less
obvious implications. No changes to the MARS model per se are
suggested or required. RFC 2022 is not required over NBMA networks
that offer Ethernet-like group addressing functionality.

This document is a product of the Internetworking Over NBMA Working
Group of the IETF.
