This paper describes a method for mapping IP flows to ATM switches. No signaling is necessary to setup a path through ATM switches. Switch controllers run an IP routing protocol and execute IP forwarding. The IPSOFACTO component is responsible for mapping a IP flow to a switched path. Mechanisms for switching both multicast and unicast flows are described.
