Abstract. A timer­based connection management mechanism has been
recently standardised to manage ATM connections dynamically for trans­
porting IP traffic over ATM networks. However, implementing timers
will increase the complexity and cost of ATM network interface cards.
In this paper, the effectiveness of timer­based connection management
