ATM Networks - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The emergence of multimedia applications, the trend towards client/server computing environments, and the increasing number of MIPS (Multimedia Information Presentation System) on the desktop has driven the demand for a flexible, high performance networking technology, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). ATM combines the benefits of two well established communications technologies: traditional packet switching and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and is the first technology that can be deployed in both wide and local area networks. This text provides a survey of the state of broadband-ISDN technology (B-ISDN), providing comprehensive coverage of the standards of B-ISDN and ATM. It begins by outlining the origin and evolution of ATM, discussing its current status for both local and wide area networks. The volume then moves on to provide an outline of B-ISDN ATM architecture, adaption layer protocols and a comprehensive guide to Synchronous Digital Hardware (SDH).
