Abstract
New techniques in the implementation of out-of-band control in ATM networks are causing both industry and research laboratories to look again at the whole question of ATM signalling. These techniques devolve the control from the network devices into a higher level distributed processing environment, resulting in simpler network devices and more flexible control architectures.This paper takes this idea one stage further and suggests that at least in some cases, the only place in which control can be exerted without inhibiting applications is within the applications themselves. We call the combination of an application defined control policy and a network connection a connection closure .Keywords
