This paper presents a novel approach to the control and management of ATM networks, by allowing di erent control architectures to be operational within the same network, and on th...
The current implementation of out-of-band control in ATM networks inhibits their successful exploitation. The confusion in signalling protocols between application services and th...
Virtual LANs (VLANs) allow to interconnect users over campus or wide area networks and gives the users the impression as they would be connected to the same local area network (LA...
