Abstract
A system and method of providing to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) access network a standard ATM interface for accessing a non standard ATM bandwidth adjustable virtual path connection established on a backbone network between a backbone source node and a backbone destination node. A standard ATM available bit rate (ABR) virtual path connection is established between the ATM access network and the backbone source node of the bandwidth adjustable virtual path connection. The available bit rate of this ABR virtual path connection is adjusted according to the adjusted bandwidth of the virtual path connection establish on the backbone node.
