Abstract :
User networks signaling is considered. The evolution of signaling protocols is outlined, analyzing the forces producing changes in the past. Emerging broadband switching technologies and services are discussed, emphasizing capabilities that might be required. A conceptual model for representing integrated-services digital network (ISDN) calls is presented as the basis for structuring a more flexible signaling protocol to meet the needs for a broadband environment.<>
