An Alternative Access Control Architecture for IP Over ATM Networks
Olivier Paul, Maryline Laurent · 1999
In this article, we describe a new architecture providing the access control service in both ATM and IP-over-ATM networks. This architecture is based on management agents distributed in network equipment. Several examples are given illustrating the benefits of this architecture. The comparison with other approaches shows that this architecture provides big improvements in ATM-level access control, scalability and QoS preservation.
