ATM Networks:
Concepts and Protocols
by
Sumit Kasera
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 signalling, routing and traffic management), interworking
aspects and the application of ATM networks. The
notable changes in the second edition include:
-
Four new
chapters on the application areas of ATM--- ATM in MPLS Networks, Voice
over ATM, ATM in DSL Networks and ATM in 3G Networks.
Three
chapters on the concepts of ATM---AAL2 Signalling, ATM Security and ATM
Network Architecture and Interfaces.
Glossary
and Review Questions.
Profusely
illustrated, the book provides fresh perspectives and makes comprehension
of a rather difficult subject very easy. With this coverage, it will serve
the needs of networking professionals and students. |
