CAC - CONNECTION ADMISSION CONTROL IN ATM NETWORKS

Ivan Baroňák - Róbert Trška - Peter Kvačkaj

   CAC is defined as a set of actions executed by the network in the phase of connection setup if VP/VC connection should be accepted or denied. The request for a new connection is accepted only if there is enough capacity in the network for creation of the new connection with requested QoS and QoS of the existing connections in the network is saved. If a new connection is accepted, then a traffic contract between the network and user is signed. The network will keep the signed QoS and the user connection will keep the traffic contract parameters.
