This review is from: ATM: the New Paradigm for Internet, Intranet & Residential Broadband Services & Applications (Hardcover)
Before I started reading this book I had some idea about ATM. Author explains from scratch giving good background about basic communication systems and then starts with why ATM? ,ATM protocol ,reference model and AALx. Finally covering the current trend in home computing . In generally this book is good start for the people who knows IP and whats to know about ATM and this is a good self study book.

This review is from: ATM: the New Paradigm for Internet, Intranet & Residential Broadband Services & Applications (Hardcover)
I am an Telco engineer implementing adsl and cable modem networks for broadband access service in China. The book came just in time for me because my company is in the stage of building an ATM network providing service like Internet surfing and experimental vod etc via adsl and cable modem. And this book has given us quite clear an infrastructure for the practice.

Impressive,integrated information -- well delivered,
By A Customer
This review is from: ATM: the New Paradigm for Internet, Intranet & Residential Broadband Services & Applications (Hardcover)
I am a teacher and consultant to the telecom industry. I bought the book to sharpen my skill set and increase literacy. I was most impressed with Mr. Kwok's ability to take a highly technical subject and break it down understandably. The end result is that both the "techno-literati" and the "average Joe" are well-served. Mr. Kwok apparently is one of us "techies" who also paid attention in writing class. Kudos for an excellent reference work.Don Gilbert M.S. DG Consulting
