The atis process handles ECHO and NBP packets for the CAP node. When using CAP in Native EtherTalk mode it also sees every RTMP packet. The amount of cpu consumed by atis will vary widely depending on how busy your network is and how many NBP names are registered on the host. In an attempt to quantify "tremendous amounts of cpu cycles" the two closest RS/6000s have used 3 and 11 cpu minutes per month for a 20-30 user zone. These figures are the same order of magnitude as 'init' ... - David.
