Sumario:The scattering of electroweak bosons tests the gauge structure of the Standard Model and is sensitive to anomalous quartic gauge couplings. In this paper, we present recent results on vector-boson scattering from the ATLAS experiment using proton-proton collisions with center-of-mass energy at \SI{13}{\TeV} at LHC. This includes the observation of \ZZ, \WZ, and same-sign-\WW production via vector-boson scattering along with a measurement of \VV production~(\V denotes \PW or \PZ boson) in semi-leptonic final-states. The results can be used to constrain new physics that manifests as anomalous electroweak-boson self interactions. Finally, predicted cross sections for electroweak scattering of two same-sign \PW bosons in association with two jets are compared for a number of Monte Carlo models.
