This new edition of a popular book offers a strengthened focus on one of the hottest networking strategies: ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode). ATM is one of the industry's current fast-moving topics, with multi-million-dollar investments being made at a time when the technology is still being debated.
And yet ATM seems so easy once one explains that it isn't about banking . After all , what could be so hard about a protocol that just transmits data as fixed - sized packets ? But ATM is hard to explain . A large part of the difficulty ...

Though leading its competitors in deposits, FNB was not perceived as a market leader because it had no automatic teller services. To enchance its image an an innovator, appeal to ATM users, and improve its geographic penetration, FNB introduced ATMs in late 1982. Specifically, the bank wanted to activate 8000 cards and achieve a monthly transaction rate of 4000 by the end of 1982. Employees at all levels received sales training, a personal demonstration of an ATM and a cash incentive for every customer they signed up. Statement stuffers and direct mail announced and explained MoneyMover Cards to customers. Advertising to the general public was done via newspapers, radio and billboards. The results of the campaign showed that 8100 cards had been activated and there were 4500 transactions per month by the end of 1982, and 5500 transactions per month by May 1983. In addition, staffing at ATM locations held constant or was reduced.
Abstract: "Over the past few years, there has been a strong and growing interest in faster network technologies such as FDDI and ATM. However, the perceived throughput at the application level has not always increased accordingly. Various performance bottlenecks have been encountered each of which has to be analysed and corrected. This paper presents a performance evaluation of continuous video data streams over ATM networks and compares them with similar experiments over Ethernet networks. The ATM LAN testbed for these experiments consists of three SG R4000 Indigos workstations connected by ATM Fore first generation interface cards and a Synoptics ATM switch. It is expected that video applications would run faster on ATM networks than Ethernet networks. A preliminary examination suggested to us that data movements through the protocol stack and the processing overheads were considerably high and that with some parameter settings, experiments with Ethernet would perform four to five times better than those with ATM. To address and explore this issue, a packetisation process has been added within the video application that would split each video frame into a number of packets. We show that by implementing a packetisation process at the application level, the end host is able to deliver cells at a faster rate. The sensitivity of these parameters, and also the overheads involved are discussed. The results are consistent over a range of video frame sizes: CIF(25 K), QCIF(101 K), and SCIF(405 K)."

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.
