From the Back Cover

The most current, most complete, and most "real world" guide ever on ATM.

This landmark reference is the ultimate "in print" database of ATM technology, services, and applications. Emphasizing practice over theory in an engaging, fun-to-read style, the authors present high-level summaries followed up with detailed treatment of all key areas of ATM technology. It is the only book that provides in-depth treatment of such "hot" new protocols as:

• IP and Tag Switching.
• Private Network Network Interface (PNNI).

• LAN Emulation (LANE).

• Understandable View of ATM Signaling.

• Multiprotocol Over ATM (MPOA).

• Available Bit Rate (ABR) flow control.

• Internet ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP).

In addition, ATM Theory and Applications explores the remarkable range of ATM applications, objectively compares ATM with competing technologies, and even offers some provocative predictions about how ATM technology might evolve.

"This update to our best selling book not only provides a working tool for someone wanting to learn ATM, but also provides a reference for the practicing professional applying real-world solutions to business and technology problems."
