The networking expert Harry G. Perros explains ATM networks, including such hot topics as:
* ATM adaptation layer 2
* Quality of Service
* Congestion control
* Tag switching and MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching)
* ADSL-based access networks
* Signalling
* PNNI (Private Network Node Interface)
An Introduction to ATM Networks is a textbook for graduate students and undergraduates in electrical engineering and computer science as well as a reference work for networking engineers.

An Online solutions Manual is now available.
