This paper describes a new signaling based approach for the implementation of a control plane for the B-ISDN network. A control architecture is developed, with a separation between service session, access session and call. This architecture provides the guidelines for the definition of signaling protocols. The differences between this architecture and other existing control plane proposals are reviewed. The emphasis is put mostly on the access session signaling and the physical architecture. However some indications on the service control signaling are given.
