Abstract

The invention relates to methods and apparatus for accelerating ATM connections. The apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive an ATM connection setup message, a memory coupled to the receiver, a table stored in the memory configured to store at least one table connection setup parameter, a parser engine configured to extract at least one message connection setup parameter, an analysis engine configured to compare the extracted message connection setup parameter to at least one table connection setup parameter, and a setup engine that makes a connection between at least two of the plurality of nodes based upon the table connection setup parameter or the message connection setup parameter.
