ATM Transport and Network Integrity (Telecommunications) - Hardcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book provides technical insights into the use of unique ATM technology characteristics to design a cost-effective broadband SONET/ATM network. The key network components addressed in the book include: information transport signaling and contro transport, traffic management and control to prevent the network from congestion and minimize the impacts once the congestion occurs, and ntwork restoration after the network component fails. It also provides the status of the standardization efforts. The unique feature of this book is in its end-to-end networking approach under a variety of network scenarios including normal network conditions, network congestion condition and network failure conditions. The book will help network researchers, planners and engineers to plan and design cost-effective survivable SONET/ATM networks for emerging telecommunications services, as well as future IP-over-ATM networking applications.
