Communications
The ultimate working guide to ATM protocols^ operation, standards, technology, and services
ATM
The hottest technology for the next decade of internetworking, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) will provide the standard protocol for 21st-century voice, video, and data integration. Now, two data communications experts on the cutting edge of ATM share their expertise—providing the requisite theory and practical knowledge needed to fully evaluate and exploit ATM and the broad range of ATM-based services.
From the basics and standards of ATM and B-ISDN to more advanced protocol-and service-specific discussions, this complete working manual offers real-world coverage of every nuance of ATM—protocols, operation, standards, technology, and services. Plus, dozens of actual case examples show how to avoid some of the most common and costly design errors.

Beginning with a revealing look at the precursor technologies, protocols, and services driving ATM, this book goes on to explore such essential topics as:
¦ ATM and B-ISDN basics, standards, protocols, and concepts
¦ ATM hardware and software
¦ ATM network planning, traffic control, congestion control, and traffic engineering
¦ ATM-based services and interconnectivity with other services
¦ Operations, network management, and international connectivity opportunities and issues
¦ ATM as compared and contrasted with other interconnection services such as frame relay and SMDS
Whether you are a data communications manager, network design engineer, LAN manager/administrator, or business executive or manager considering ATM to meet your data transport needs, everything you need to know about ATM technology and ATM-based services is right here in this highly readable, hands-on guide.
