Summary
Aimed at the ATM implementor responsible for supporting the next generation of applications on the corporate network, this text discusses ATM in local and wide area, comparing it to competing technologies and evaluating the differing ATM architectures in relation to existing environments.
Table of Contents
| This book is a book which picks up where books on ATM standards finish |
| Aimed at the ATM implementor responsible for supporting the next generation of applications on a corporate internetwork, this book discusses ATM in local and wide areas, comparing it to competing technologies and then evaluating the differing ATM architectures in relation to existing internetworking environments and protocols |
| This evaluation will include a discussion of how a proper ATM deployment in the local area will provide the user with an upgrade path which includes continued support for existing "Legacy" architectures, Ethernet, Token Ring and IBM, while at the same time providing support for emerging bandwidth-intensive applications |
| The book evaluates the current state of available ATM hardware (switches, hubs, routers) in conjuction with standardization |
| Features |
| Addresses the relationship between current internetworking architectures and those based on an ATM switch-centric model |
| Answers the questions 'what standards are relevant?', 'what devices should be deployed for a given application environment?', 'how do I configure these devices?' and 'what should I watch out for?' |
| Evaluates the current state of available ATM hardware |
| Includes a practical ATM implementation in both the local and wide areas, combining both existing internetworking devices and those based on ATM technology dissects ATM technology layer by layer |
