Abstract

This paper deals with the IP flow to ATM VC mapping of the RSVP over ATM implementation of the ACTS project DIANA. As part of an edge router at the ingress from an IP to an ATM network, this implementation provides signalling translation from RSVP to ATM, handles the admission of flows to ATM VCs and controls an IP over ATM queuing discipline. It is thus an example of a traffic descriptor and QoS parameter based resource reservation that strictly guarantees end-to-end QoS. In order to address scalability issues, a concept of massive aggregation of flows to VCs and a dynamic bandwidth management is applied to reduce the control overhead induced by signalling and the maintenance of per-flow state information.
