Abstract
This article addresses key issues related to the administration of ATM backbones based on virtual paths with embedded restoration capabiliti es. The concept of logical subnetworking according to the required rel iability of service (RoS) is presented. This is followed by an investi gation into alternative protocols for activating preplanned backup VPs with shared capacity protection, whereby speed and robustness are of special interest. Finally, a method for rerouting VPs by translation t able alteration is presented.
