Summary
Summary
Provides practical guidance for planning and managing ATM backbone networks for TCP/IP-based WANs and the Internet. After an overview of TCP/IP and ATM fundamentals, material compares pros and cons of two leading options for carrying TCP/IP options on ATM networks: the IETF's Classical IP-Over-ATM,
