- * Reserved for capturing on Solaris with SunATM.

+ *
+ * There may be other forms of Full Frontal ATM on other OSes,
+ * with different pseudo-headers.
+ *
+ * If ATM software returns a pseudo-header with VPI/VCI information
+ * (and, ideally, packet type information, e.g. signalling, ILMI,
+ * LANE, LLC-multiplexed traffic, etc.), it should not use
+ * DLT_ATM_RFC1483, but should get a new DLT_ value, so tcpdump
+ * and the like don't have to infer the presence or absence of a
+ * pseudo-header and the form of the pseudo-header.
