1. A 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 (node 3) and a backbone destination node (node 4), said backbone network and said ATM access network comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected with transmission links, said method characterized in that its involves the step of:

  • establishing between an end node of the ATM access network and the backbone source node of the bandwidth adjustable virtual path connection that said end node connects, a standard ATM available bit rate virtual path connection;

    adjusting the available bit rate of the available bit rate virtual path connection according to the dynamically adjusted bandwidth of the bandwidth adjustable virtual path connection.
