Abstract
An arrangement for supplying local network emulation services over a broad connectionless ATM-network. The ATM-network is in charge of connectionless data communication traffic by a broadband data service network. Private local networks can be connected to the ATM-network to exchange traffic with other local networks. The ATM-network emulates local networks so that the ATM-network can deal with the local network traffic. The broadband data service network includes servers which function as address resolvers for local network addresses and as local network relays for routing local network traffic via the ATM-network. The server uses unit specific addresses and local emulation groups as addresses.
