ATM trys to be all things to all people, and as such gets a bit complex. For an explanation of addressing, try:

or

http://www.net.aapt.com.au/techref/address.htm.

Can't realy give "typical"values, I'd need to know what the network looked like, what it's used for, and if you're planning on using LAN Emulation.

The only tip I can give at the moment is try to use PNNI connections between switches as this greatly simplifies configuration.

If you post or mail more details I'll try and be more help.

BTW, which ATM switches are you using?
