service interworking function (SIWF)
1 The FR-ATM SIWF enables frame relay customer-provided equipment
(CPE) to communicate with ATM-capable CPE. The SIWF maintains
standard interworking between frame relay and ATM equipment, and
maps frame relay DLCIs to ATM VCCs on a one-to-one basis. The FR-
ATM service interworking function is based on the FRF.8 standard.
