SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FOR CONNECTIONS OF AN ATM-NETWORK

摘要

The invention relates to a System for enhanced resource management for connections of an ATM-network comprising means for setting up at least one first connection between two ATM-nodes where network resources are reserved for said at least one first connection, and means for setting up a plurality of second connections within said at least one first connection where said first connection provides sufficient network resources for each second connection, respectively. To provide a system for an easy management of a plurality of ATM-virtual-channel-connections (ATM-VCC) for ATM-adaptation-layer (AAL) connections, without fragmenting the reserved bandwidth and without using one dedicated ATM-virtual-path-connection (ATM-VPC) it is proposed that, said first connections are grouped together into one common channel group, and that said network resources are reserved jointly for said channel group and that said second connections commonly use said reserved network resources.
