"If you don't fully understand switching technology, you can't make ATM "real." Switching is the ATM key that unlocks such new, bandwidth-intensive applications as digital video, desktop video conferencing, multimedia, imaging, and distance learning. Yet few (if any) books on ATM discuss switching in any depth. This valuable reference fills the void by going under the hood to explain the critical technology and capabilities that constitute the switching component of an ATM network." "The authors draw on decades of industry experience to help you address the technical, economic, design, and business issues required to successfully deploy this new technology. Whether you're a communications engineer, equipment supplier, or carrier, you'll find the full range of ATM knowledge you need."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

For telecommunications engineers and researchers looking to learn about broadband networks based on the ATM standard, no other book combines the analysis of ATM theory, architecture, and performance in a single volume.
Applying university research to the emerging problem of bandwidth constraint, this new analysis of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) switching principles, design and operation provides: Coverage of switching in Broadband Integrated Services ...
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.
