摘要
This document defines the ATM Inter-Network Interface protocol version 1.1 (AINI 1.1) for use between ATM networks. The scope of the specification is limited to signalling that is the procedures for dynamically establishing, maintaining, and clearing ATM connections between ATM networks. The procedures are defined in terms of messages and information elements used to characterize the ATM connection.
The AINI 1.1 specification is based on ATM Forum PNNI Signalling version 1.1.
The networks on either side of the AINI may be running any protocol internally. However, the goal in defining the AINI 1.1 protocol is to facilitate interworking of two networks running PNNI internally in disjoint PNNI routing domains. In addition to defining the AINI 1.1 signalling protocol, this specification also defines protocol interworking between AINI 1.1 and PNNI (versions 1.1 and 1.0). Protocol interworking between AINI 1.1 and any
other protocol is not considered in this specification.
The networks involved can either be ATM service provider (ASP) networks or private networks. These terms are defined in [9].
