IP Applications with ATM

Abstract

"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.
