ABSTRACT:
A technique for permitting continued use of IP (Internet Protocol) routing protocols in an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network is implemented in each ATM system having route-computing responsibilities. When a call setup request is received, the routing system determines, from the ATM address of the target system, whether a routing protocol must be implemented. If a routing protocol must be implemented, data in an ACN (ATM Cluster Number) field and an HN (Host Number) field in the target ATM address is read and is imported into an IP-format address. This IP-format address is used in implementing the IP routing protocol.
