Full Description
From xDSL to 3G wireless, one technology is at the heart of today's most important broadband networks: ATM. This book brings together the most comprehensive, complete description of ATM standards and practical solutions for the key issues facing ATM network implementers and managers. Othmar Kyas and Gregan Crawford begin by reviewing the evolution of ATM technology, the problems it has been designed to solve, and the latest generation of ATM applications. Next, they systematically address the elements of ATM networks, covering all ATM variants and the latest ATM standards. ATM Networks then offers specific guidance on ATM network design, testing, and troubleshooting, as well as detailed techniques for protecting ATM networks against hacker attacks. For all network professionals designing, implementing, managing, maintaining, or supporting ATM networks in a wide range of service provider and enterprise environments.
