Book Description

Publication Date: January 18, 1994

ATM is a form of packetized data transport where any type of information is chopped into short, uniform groups (cells) for efficient handling. Because all cells are the same 53-bytes in length, switches and multiplexers can be tuned to maximum efficiency.

This book explains how ATM delivers major cost savings, speed improvements, and flexibility in voice/data networks including detailed guidance on planning and configuring a new installation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Out of Date, June 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: ATM: Asynchronous Transfer Mode User's Guide (Paperback)

When this book first came out I thought it was pretty good. However, I threw my copy out recently because it is dated. There have been a lot of things happening in ATM since 1994 and I see no point in buying a technical book which is 7 years old (assuming most of the content reflects information from 1993).

1.0 out of 5 stars atm users guide, February 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: ATM: Asynchronous Transfer Mode User's Guide (Paperback)

Not an easy, clear read. Diagrams are not easy to comprehend. Thin detail in needed subject matter. To much detail in unrelated subjects.
