ABSTRACT:
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a distributed connection management in an ATM network element with distributed connection control comprising a plurality of control units is disclosed. A managing unit receives a connection request for connecting a first and a second termination point, and determines control units in charge of the first and second termination points to be connected. The first and second termination point control units both store information about the first and second termination points and request connection between the first and second termination points. Alternatively, according to a second embodiment of the present invention, the managing unit receives a connection request for connecting a first and a second termination point, determines control units for the first and second termination points to be connected out of a plurality of existing control units, and determines a third control unit for controlling the connection out of the plurality of existing control units, and the third control unit then requests connection between the first and second termination points.
