Abstract
In an ATM connectionless communication system for delivering connectionless datagram in the form of sessions through an ATM network, each one of multiple edge units is connected to a user network where quality-of-service (QoS) sessions and No-QoS sessions are mixed. Each of the edge units accommodates an IPv,packet from the user network into an intermediate frame and accommodates the intermediate frame into ATM cells. The edge units are connected to core units by permanent virtual paths to form a connectionless network. Each of the edge units has a session supervising section for determining whether the IPv,packet is a QoS session or a No-QoS session, to allocate a control flow number to the IPv,packet when the IP,packet is a QoS session.
