Over the past decade ATM has become one of the most widely deployed transport technologies for communication networks. With its flexible architecture it is capable of providing the broad variety of transmission properties that modern multiservice networks require. New, advanced service offerings such as third generation (3G) telephony or DSL are built on ATM, expanding its reach from communication backbones out to millions of users. ATM is the most powerful communication transport mechanism, and it is the most complex one at the same time.
This book was written to provide an in-depth understanding of all aspects of ATM, while serving as a single complete reference source. With this in mind, the reader should not expect an easy-to-read book. However, the reward for working through it will be an in-depth understanding of one of the most important and fascinating communication technologies today.Gregan Crawford, Edinburgh
