The network includes a plurality of IP switches for addressing and routing data in accordance with an Internet protocol and an ATM protocol. A server, which is coupled to at least one of the IP switches, receives at least one service attribute requested by the originating station in communication with the IP switch. A network control point (NCP) is employed to provide data, in response to a request from the server, pertaining to the service attribute. At least one address database is associated with each of the IP switches. The address database includes a subset of the data available in the NCP. | InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 728276 filed on 10/08/1996US Classes:709/228, Session/connection parameter setting370/395.52, Internet Protocol (including TCP/IP or UDP/IP) over fixed length packet network (e.g., IP over ATM)370/395.54, Address resolution (e.g., ARP, or NHRP)370/395.63, Adapting frame relay/X.25 data (e.g., using AAL 3/4)370/396, Distributed switching370/400, Having a plurality of nodes performing distributed switching370/401Bridge or gateway between networksField of Search370/400, Having a plurality of nodes performing distributed switching370/401, Bridge or gateway between networks370/396Distributed switchingExaminersPrimary: Harrell, Robert B.Assistant: Ovedovitz, David M.
