Chapter Objectives • After completing this chapter you will be able to: • Describe signalling functions and signalling control functions • Outline address formats • Describe signalling for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint calls
Signalling Functions • Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs) require the use of signalling standards:- • ITU-T • Q.2931 • ATM Forum • UNI V3.0, V3.1 and V4.0 • Signalling flavours • UNI • NNI
Signalling Control Functions • Establishing a virtual circuit • Status report for a virtual circuit • Maintaining a virtual circuit • Clearing a virtual circuit

The Traffic Contract • Destination address and the traffic contract form the essential parts of call set-up • The traffic contract between user and network establishes: • Virtual bandwidth reserved in each of the forward and backward directions • QoS class for cells in each of the forward and reverse directions
