Synopsis

Real-life ATM applications and the hottest ATM technologies, all in a single volume-that's the two-pronged focus of this book, which picks up where the authors' hugely successful ATM Theory and Application left off. In the past two years, ATM has been adopted by many Fortune 500 companies and most telecommunication carriers. The current challenge for network managers and administrators is to deploy ATM efficiently and effectively in a corporate setting. Through abundant examples and illustrated step-by-step guidance, Hands-On ATM! reveals how to implement and operate an ATM network to best advantage; use ATM applications in both LAN and WAN environments; take advantage of "bridging," or Internet Protocol routing over ATM and LAN emulation; utilize new technologies and standards; and much more. The emphasis throughout is on the growing role of ATM in practical internetworking solutions.
