2.0 out of 5 stars
Disorganised, much like the first volume,
By
This review is from: ATM, Volume II Signaling in Broadband Networks (Hardcover)
Much like volume 1 of this series, this book seems to be more rambling than lesson, but has information within it nonetheless. The diagrams are clear, and the writing unmarred by grammatical errors. Nonetheless, the challenge this book poses the reader is not entirely in the difficulty of the topic, but also can be blamed on the carelessness of the author. While the book forms a valuable shortening of the topics needed to comprehend ATM when compared to the White Papers, one longs for a more graceful explanation than U. Black offers.

Finally, ATM is happening!,
By S Sinha (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ATM, Volume II Signaling in Broadband Networks (Hardcover)
Finally, its happening! It's a great pleasure to the High Speed Switching professional, rattling his brains in the hottest technologies, to see such a work of perfection from a reckoned genius - Ulysses D Black. Indeed, it is very, very difficult to find a book on the emerging technologies when most booksellers want to play it safe with books on legacy technologies. An extremely well written book that takes you through the intricacies of Asynchronous Transfer Mode and the associated Broadband Signalling with such fluid ease that when you reach the end you realize that you missed your dinner. The initial chapters take you on a journey on how we started signalling broadband. Just when you feel you are done and there is that hungry feel in your belly that you want to go out and eat up the great references the book gives - you affront the SS7 Signalling and UNI3.1. And then you become wise and start to know what you do not! A must have book for Hi Speed Switching professionals and for anyone who wants to "eat, drink and live telecommunication". A word of advice though - "Read it at least twice."
