About this title

Synopsis

Complete coverage and analysis of official ATM standards and protocols The Internet Standards Series provides analysis of the latest RFCs (Request for Comments) and guidance on their potential use. It is a convenient source that categorizes the standards, summarizes the important ones, and shows you where to look for all the details. Each book includes a step-by-step action plan for integrating the right standard to the right application. Finding and addressing the ATM standards that are critical to your network can be very difficult, especially considering that there are over 2,600 RFCs to search through. This book/CD-ROM conveniently organizes and analyzes the RFCs that are relevant to ATM networks and protocols. With its accessible approach, youíll gain a better understanding of Internet standards including the IP over ATM approach (IPOA), LAN Emulation (LANE), and Multiprotocol over ATM (MPOA).
