ATM Networks: Concepts and Protocols

Abstract

Networking technologies are playing a pivotal role in ‘networking’ our world. Among the networking technologies that are relevant today, ATM is one of the most popular and pervasive as it seamlessly integrates local area networks and wide area networks. Further, as it provides a single platform for voice, video and data, it facilitates convergence.

ATM Networks: Concepts and Protocols is a single-stop reference on this technology. The revised edition of this book covers the relevant concepts, the three layers of ATM protocol reference model, core concepts of ATM networks (including signaling, routing and traffic management), interworking aspects and the application of ATM networks.
