Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 2297. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The General Switch Management Protocol (GSMP), is a general purpose protocol to control an ATM switch. GSMP allows a controller to establish and release connections across the switch; add and delete leaves on a point-to-multipoint connection; manage switch ports; request configuration information; and request statistics. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
