A practical guide to planning and managing ATM backbone networks for TCP/IP based WANs and the Internet, this title covers IP-over-ATM, LAN emulation, multicast, traffic management, and more. Extensive coverage is given of performance and scalability issues.
In TCP/IP-Over-ATM, Xerox PARC scientist Berry Kercheval manages the rare feat of being technically precise and a joy to read. If you're even considering running TCP/IP Over ATM, this is where you ought to start.
The effective design of high-speed, reliable switching systems is essential for moving the huge volumes of traffic and multimedia over modern communications networks. This book explains all the main packet-switching architectures, including all theoretical and practical topics relevant to the design and management of high-speed networks. Delivering the most systematic coverage available of the subject, the authors interweave fundamental concepts with real-world applications and include engineering case studies from wireless and fiber-optic communications. Market: Hardware and Software Engineers in the telecommunication industry, System Engineers, and Technicians.

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.

The merging of voice and data on a single network opens powerful new possibilities in communications. Only a fundamental understanding of both technologies will ensure you are equipped to maximise their full potential. Convergence Technologies for 3G Networks describes the evolution from cellular to a converged network that integrates traditional telecommunications and the technology of the Internet. In particular, the authors address the application of both IP and ATM technologies to a cellular environment, including IP telephony protocols, the use of ATM/AAL2 and the new AAL2 signalling protocol for voice/multimedia and data transport as well as the future of the UMTS network in UMTS Release 5/6 All-IP architecture. Convergence Technologies for 3G Networks: Explains the operation and integration of GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, CDMA2000, IP, and ATM. Provides practical examples of 3G connection scenarios. Describes signalling flows and protocol stacks. Covers IP and ATM as used in a 3G context. Addresses issues of QoS and real-time application support. Includes IP/SS7 internetworking and IP softswitching. Outlines the architecture of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for UMTS. Convergence Technologies for 3G Networks is suited for professionals from the telecommunications, data communications and computer networking industries..

This book will discuss ATM in an enterprise networking environment. It will detail its characteristics of ATM, its architecture and its implementation. It will cleverly show the value of ATM over other products.
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.

The emergence of network technologies paves the way for the merging of voice and data over a common infrastructure - a feat that promises to usher in serious changes in today's public networks and in the communications industry in general. ATM for Public Networks delivers all the comparative data and insights that communications engineers, telecommunications leaders, and Internet Service Providers need to make critical go/no-go decisions about ATM technology. Not just for enthusiasts or the presold, ATM for Public Networks empowers you to make the most cost-, quality-, and time-effective technology choices for your network - based on an in-depth understanding of the tradeoffs. And with its full discussions of TCP bandwidth management ... detailed comparisons of IP over ATM vs. IP over SONET ... and voice over IP vs. voice over ATM ... this book has plenty to give to those with greater interest in other technologies.
