RFC 1483 Bridging

RFC 1483 describes two different methods for carrying connectionless network interconnect traffic over an ATM network: routed protocol data units (PDUs) and bridged PDUs. Routing allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit (VC). The protocol of a carried PDU is identified by prefixing the PDU with an IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) header. Bridging performs higher-layer protocol multiplexing implicitly by ATM VCs. For more information, refer to RFC 1483 at www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1483.txt.

This section refers only to bridged PDUs.
