Abstract
The realization of multiway group communications and scaleable IP switching over ATM networks requires merging of virtual connections to be possible. This capability, known as VC merging, cannot be provided by ATM networks wh ich use a standard ATM protocol stack. This paper describes CLIMAX, a simpl e and efficient solution that allows for VC merging while keeping the typic al advantages of cell-switching.
