ATM & MPLS Theory & Application: Foundations of Multi-Service Networking

Solve all your networking problems and improve overall performance using this detailed guide to ATM and IP technologies. You’ll get full coverage of circuits, multiplexing, switching, frame relay, bridging, routing, signaling, and much more. This practical guide also covers ATM hardware, software, and high-layer protocols.

Dr. David E. McDysan has been on the board of the ATM Forum, and has led technical committees on network management and traffic management. He is acknowledged as an industry expert in ATM traffic management, giving tutorials by invitation at several conferences a year. He speaks at conferences or seminars on ATM, MPLS and IP. Dr. McDysan co-authored ATM- Theory and Application.

Dave Paw is an architectural engineering role for the development and specification of WorldCom's Next Generation Networks. He worked on the signaling and routing protocols for WorldCom's ATM and Frame Relay networks, where he was responsible for developing WorldCom's PNNI requirements specification. He is currently responsible for documenting the WorldCom MPLS requirements specification and the application of MPLS and PNNI protocols to the Optical transport network. He is an active in the ATM Forum (Vice-Chair of the control signaling working group). Dave graduated from Texas Tech, Lubbock TX with a degree in Electrical Engineering.
