	In the ATM Forum we are about to develop an Inter-ATM Service
Provider Routing Protocol which enables any
	source switch of an ATM Service Provider to generate the
hierarchical source route information which describes the
	shortest route to the nearest access interface of the destination
customer network, which might be identified based on  the destination
	address (dest. AESA). 

	Hereby the destination AESA may contain for sure any address of the
types  E.164 ,  ICD, DCC.
	Of course it would work as well for new address types like : IPv4,
IPv6, Autonomous System Number + IPv4. 
	Because fairly all ATM service Providers are or will be ISPs as
well, such extensions are quite natural.
