ATM technology and Services delivery

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. ATM Technology and Services Delivery begins with an expert introduction to ATM technology: protocols, physical layers, call control procedures, switching, traffic management, and network management. Next, it describes how services can be delivered over ATM, providing enough detail for today's most important ATM applications. Coverage includes: @BCBULLET Circuit emulation and voice telephony over ATM.

• LAN emulation over ATM, classical IP over ATM, and multi-protocol over ATM with in-depth coverage of ATM interworking with TCP/IP networks
  
• Solutions for delivering multimedia services over ATM
  
• Emerging ATM technologies: wireless ATM, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), and more
