Abstract
According to ITU Rec. I.371 (see [1])/usage parameter control (UPC) “is the set of actions taken by the network to monitor and control traffic, in terms of traffic offered and validity of the ATM connection at the user access network”. In other words, after a connection is accepted by the network using a connection admission control (CAC) procedure, it must be ensured that network resources are protected from malicious or unintentional misbehaviour of the source producing the call, which can affect the quality of service (QoS) of other calls already estabhshed in the network. This is the job of the UPC function, sometimes also called traffic policing and access control, situated at the access point to the network, i.e. the user Network interface (UNI). Typical locations for the UPC function include the entrances to a local switching node and a cross-connect.
