Book excerpt: -- Not just a guide to the technology and standards: a real implementer's guide! -- Extensive real-world examples and details: interworking with LANs, IP, xDSL, multimedia, wireless, and much more. -- Advanced ATM applications: wireless ATM, CDMA integration, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), and more. Finally, there's an ATM guide that doesn't just catalog the technology and standards, but also demonstrates exactly how to design today's most important real-world ATM applications. Start with an expert introduction to ATM technology: protocols, call control procedures, switching, traffic management, and network management. Next, and most importantly, review the key design challenges, tradeoffs, and best solutions associated with each of today's most important ATM applications. Master LAN emulation over ATM, classical IP over ATM, and multi-protocol over ATM; and delivering multimedia services over ATM. Finally, discover the state of the art in emerging ATM technologies and standards, including multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) and other approaches to wireless ATM. The book is replete with detailed design examples focused on helping engineers create high-performance, cost-effective ATM systems and services that succeed in the marketplace. For any engineer involved with delivering ATM products and services, including hardware manufacturers, designers of network management systems, customer network engineers and architects.
