Summary
Summary
"ATM Networks, now in its second edition, is an essential guide for anyone developing or wanting to develop ATM applications. Providing clear, concise and practical information in one volume, it offers an up-to-date survey of ATM, with a comprehensive coverage of the standards of ATM and broadband-ISDN (B-ISDN)." "The book retains important features of the first edition, including an outline of the origin and evolution of ATM, discussing its use in both local and wide area networks; a guide to ATM architecture, adaption layer protocols and Synchronous Digital Hardware (SDH); an introduction to the internetworking issues related to ATM implementation; a chapter on network performance parameters; and appendices covering signalling parameters, members of the ATM Forum and a selection of ATM chip-set and test equipment developers." "New features include: indepth coverage of ATM LAN-Emulation, an introduction to PNNI-signalling, coverage of the ATM Forum UNI 4.0 specification, and coverage of all new ATM interfaces, including 155 Mbit/s via UTP/STP."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Excerpts
Over the past decade ATM has become one of the most widely deployed transport technologies for communication networks. With its flexible architecture it is capable of providing the broad variety of transmission properties that modern multiservice networks require. New, advanced service offerings such as third generation (3G) telephony or DSL are built on ATM, expanding its reach from communication backbones out to millions of users. ATM is the most powerful communication transport mechanism, and it is the most complex one at the same time. This book was written to provide an in-depth understanding of all aspects of ATM, while serving as a single complete reference source. With this in mind, the reader should not expect an easy-to-read book. However, the reward for working through it will be an in-depth understanding of one of the most important and fascinating communication technologies today.
