Synopsis

Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a sophisticated telecommunications switching technique that allows the simultaneous transmission of voice, image, and computer data. It efficiently exploits the huge carrying capacity of optical fiber for transporting a wide range of information types across a broadband and integrated services digital network. Internet protocol (IP) is the envelope coding that enables transmission control orotocol (TCP) segments to travel between different networks. A collection of IP networks is called an internet.

From the Publisher

Over the course of the next few years, as we migrate from existing telecommunications techniques to technology based on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), teletraffic engineering will emerge as a vital topic. This book offers a highly accessible exploration of ATM teletraffic issues. An accompanying disk contains the formulas discussed in the book on MathCAD files.
