 Several requirements for the directory service function that apply to ANS are:
 
? No single point of failure (resilience)
? efficient implementation including storage efficiency
? Hierarchical naming structure (scalability)
? low latency of queries
? Toleration of temporary inconsistency, that is, that such 
inconsistency does not damage the information in ANS.
? The service may sometimes be transiently unavailability, for 
example, “a busy signal” 
 
 Other ANS requirements include:
 
? Independence between non-ATM network and transport layer 
protocols 
 
 ANS is to be used by ATM applications.  These applications may 
not necessarily implement non-ATM network or transport 
protocols.  Most current DNS implementations carry DNS protocol 
messages on top of UDP/IP and TCP/IP.  This document specifies
