Signaling Protocol

This section discusses the signaling process; the next section discusses the
routing process.
ATM uses the UNI signaling standard protocol for dynamically
establishing, maintaining, and clearing SVC connections between
endpoints.
The major features of the signaling protocol include:


On demand connections


Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections


Multiple address formats


Dynamic VPI/VCI assignment


Traffic parameters exchange


Characteristic per call per application
