Abstract : |
We consider the issue of increasing the number of connections that connection oriented networks, such as ATM, can handle. We describe one step that arises at reducing connection awareness inside the network. To that end, connections between the same pair of access nodes are grouped together and made indistinguishable inside the network. The concept of dynamic virtual path trunks is introduced as a support mechanism, and it is shown how virtual path links can be setup and maintained without additional round-trip delays., |
