IP switching over fast ATM cell transport (IPSOFACTO): switching multicast flows
Aishik Acharya, R.S. Dighe, Furquan Ansari · 2002
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 a IP routing protocol and execute IP forwarding. The IPSOFACTO component is responsible for mapping a IP flow to a switched path. The focus of this paper is primarily on switching IP multicast flows.
