Delivering Voice Over Frame Relay and ATM

Develop cost-effective, long-term solutions for packetized voice Analysts agree that within the next decade virtually all telecommunication traffic will travel over packet networks. Should your packetized voice be delivered over layer 2 networks such as ATM or frame relay, or over layer 3 IP networks? What are the challenges associated with ATM and frame relay? Drawing upon years of practical and research experience with both voice over ATM and voice over frame relay, the authors consider the advantages and disadvantages of frame relay and ATM versus IP networks. The book covers engineering requirements in depth and suggests likely interim steps for scaling up to a voice over data network by providing: * A telephony tutorial for network managers * Comparative assessments of voice over frame relay, ATM, and the Internet * Overviews of all the enabling technologies involved * In-depth coverage of voice characteristics, compression standards, and QoS * An extensive case study illustrating the pros and cons of voice over data * Guidelines to help you decide when (or whether) to invest in voice over data technology, and how to choose the best type for your organization.

Introduction to IP and ATM Design and Performance

With Applications Analysis Software

Many engineers and students experience difficulty in making sense of issues associated with IP and ATM teletraffic techniques. This is partly because of the subject itself: networks are flexible, complicated, and still evolving. However, some of the difficulties arise because of the advanced mathematical methods that have been applied to provide analytic tools. The research literature abounds with many and varied analytical approaches applied to a bewildering array of traffic mixes, switch designs and traffic control mechanisms. Introduction to IP and ATM Design and Performance provides: an introduction to IP and ATM traffic issues; performance evaluation using analysis and simulation; presentation of key formulas describing traffic and queueing behaviour and practical examples, graphs and tables for the design of wide area networks. Particular areas addressed include the fundamental traffic control functions: connection admission control; usage parameter control; priority control; queue scheduling and buffer management. Features include: · Clear Expansion of typical traffic and queueing behaviour · Simple exposition of fundamental performance evaluation methods and techniques for ATM and IP · All formulas are available in MathCAD files on the related web-site · Avoids the use of advanced mathematical methods This simple intuitive approach is easy to follow and will benefit both engineers in the telecommunications industry and undergraduate and postgraduate students in telecommunications, communications engineering, computer engineering courses.
