Abstract

The paper deals with the ATM (asynchronous transfer mode)-specific functions of source policing and connection acceptance control and their relationship to network management. The aspects of ATM-specific network management are based on the results achieved by the RACE project R1022, `Technology for ATD´. It is shown how these functions can be implemented according to the TMN (telecommunications management network) architecture suggested by the RACE project GUIDELINE (R1003). The interaction between these functions and other network management functions is discussed and the interaction of these functions with the management layers is presented in a way which is not dependent on the specific algorithms used for source policing and connection acceptance control
