This volume explores specific approaches for interconnecting multiple ATM networks and ways to deploy ATM in stages. Readers will learn about options for running TCP/IP traffic over ATM, including IP traffic of ATM, classical IP over ATM, multiprotocol over ATM, and the LAN emulation approach.
The literature on network industries and network effects notes that incompatibility across rival systems can influence firms' incentives to invest in product changes that are beneficial to the consumer. We investigate this phenomenon in the case of bank ATM networks, where the number of ATM locations serves as the measure of product quality and surcharge fees serve as an index of incompatibility. Using as a natural experiment the lifting of a surcharge ban in Iowa (and not in neighboring states), we find that the associated increase in incompatibility for Iowa banks caused a substantial increase in the number of ATM locations offered to customers. This effect is found to be larger (in percentage terms) for larger banks than for smaller ones.

In the past two years, ATM has been adopted by many Fortune 500 companies and most telecommunication carriers. The current challenge for network managers and administrators is to deploy ATM efficiently and effectively in a corporate setting. Through abundant examples and illustrated step-by-step guidance, "Hands-On ATM" reveals how to implement and operate an ATM network to best advantage.
Offering a solid introduction to ATM technology, this book includes detailed case studies from such companies as DEC that show how ATM is in use today. Understanding ATM explains how ATM works and provides valuable insights into practical implementations at ATM and the major ATM strategic directions and products associated with ATM vendors.
Branch Banking & Trust Company is one such business taking advantage of this public ATM network . One of the major strengths of public ATM is its ability to reroute data traffic easily to accommodate moves and changes .
This hands-on book focuses on the practical aspects of ATM signalling that network engineers and designers will need to know now and in the foreseeable future. It covers the basic call control functions as well as Internet Protocol over ATM, LAN emulation, multiprotocol over ATM, and much more. Case studies are also included to demonstrate this technology in action.
