Abstract

   This document specifies an ATM-based protocol for communication
   between ST2+ agents. The ST2+ over ATM protocol supports the matching
   of one hop in an ST2+ tree-structure stream with one ATM connection.
   In this document, ATM is a subnet technology for the ST2+ stream.

   The ST2+ over ATM protocol is designed to achieve resource-
   reservation communications across ATM and non-ATM networks, to extend
   the UNI 3.1/4.0 signaling functions, and to reduce the UNI 4.0 LIJ
   signaling limitations.

   The specifications of the ST2+ over ATM protocol consist of a
   revision of RFC 1819 ST2+ and specifications of protocol interaction
   between ST2+ and ATM on the user plane, management plane, and control
   plane which correspond to the three planes of the B-ISDN protocol
   reference model.

1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose of Document

   The purpose of this document is to specify an ATM-based protocol for
   communication between ST2+ agents.

   The ST2+ over ATM protocol is designed to support the matching of one
   hop in an ST2+ tree-structure stream with one ATM connection; it is
   not designed to support an entire ST2+ tree-structure stream with a
   point-to-multipoint ATM connection only.
