The present invention relates to an ATM-network in which a central controlsystem (NMC) and agents controlling the switches interact in order to establish a connection. Information about a second subscriber with whom a first subscriber wishes to establish a connection is transmitted from the first subscriber to the agent of the switch to which the first subscriber is connected. The information is passed on to the central control system, which indicates a path between the subscribers, whereafter the connection between the subscribers is set up by the agents. The connection may involve more than one ATM-switch. |
