ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks are widely considered to be the new protocol for high speed communication systems, both for broadband information highways and for local and wide area networks. This book provides the reader with an authoritative overview of the subject and presents the latest findings from leading edge research in the area, concentrating particularly on the way ATM is being developed with early services in mind. The key issue of how ATM can provide different services is discussed, focusing on issues relating to the control quality of service. Written by research and development engineers at the British Telecommunications Laboratories, this book is essential reading for engineers in telecommunications operating companies working in network design and related fields, engineers in telecommunications and computer companies working on systems design, broadband equipment vendors and postgraduate and research students of telecommunications and computing.

If you thought that ATM was nothing more than the name of the machine from which you withdraw money, prepare to meet an ATM of a more esoteric sort. The esoteric ATM is Asynchronous Transfer Mode, an important innovation in high-speed networking technology. In ATM For Dummies, networking experts Cathy Gadecki and Christine Heckart explain what ATM is, how it works, what its implications are, and (most important) how you can take advantage of it. Find out how to exploit ATM's capabilities for supporting mission-critical applications, for faster Internet access, and for more efficient intranets. The authors enlisted the help of many industry professionals who share their real-world ATM experiences with you. With plenty of practical information on everything from evaluating equipment and services to mixing existing systems effectively with new ATM hardware and software, ATM For Dummies offers the quickest and easiest access to this important, cutting-edge technology.

This book will help network engineers take better advantage of ATM technology for their transport network planning. ATM Transport and Network Integrity offers useful information for network planners to design and evolve cost-effective networks. The book focuses on methods of network design to ensure proper network function under stress, such as congestion or failure. ATM Transport and Network Integrity discusses the most efficient methods of support for broadband service and control transport in high-speed transport networks, network services, and transport architectures and control and management. It covers in detail the differences between ATM and STM transport and how these differences affect transportnetwork planning and engineering. Key Features * End-to-end networking, including information, signaling and control transport * Broadband network integrity, including traffic management for network congestion and traffic restoration for network failure conditions * Pioneer of SONET and ATM self-healing networks * Case study description and implications * Good insights for future IP-over-ATM network design and planning
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the high-speed networking technology that promises to speed up bogged down networks with mixed LAN and WAN environments. This book offers a "how to" approach to ATM implementation from the perspective of network specialists responsible for the design, deployment, and day-to-day operation of the ATM-based network. Covers fault management, performance management, configuration management, accounting management, security management, LAN emulation and virtual LANs. For corporate network planners and managers interested in bringing ATM to the organization.

In most developing countries, the rural labor force is growing rapidly, but rural employment opportunities are dwindling. This paper brings together empirical evidence on the nonfarm sector and analyzes policies for its future development. It examines the linkages between the farm and nonfarm sectors and between the nonfarm sector and urban enterprises, and considers ways the government can promote rural employment.
