This hands-on book focuses on the practical aspects of ATM signalling that network engineers and designers will need to know now and in the foreseeable future. It covers the basic call control functions as well as Internet Protocol over ATM, LAN emulation, multiprotocol over ATM, and much more. Case studies are also included to demonstrate this technology in action.

From the Back Cover
ATM is one of the key technologies used to support high-quality multimedia services. However, high-quality features, such as scaleability, high bandwidth and quality of service have resulted in a high level of complexity. The ATM signalling standards are driven by two organisations: the ITU-T and the ATM Forum and can be difficult to understand, especially for people without experience in standardisation work. Highly practical in its approach, ATM Signalling will explain all you need to know about how things really work, how to interpret the behaviour of systems, what problems may arise and how to find the solutions to such problems.
* Describes the key ATM protocols used in private networks
* Examines how the protocols work by tracing existing systems and applications under normal and erroneous conditions
* Presents the basic call functions as well as those that are built on top of call control such as Classical IP over ATM (CLIP), LAN Emulation over ATM (LANE) and Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI)
By offering such practical advice in the crucial aspects of ATM signalling, this volume will have immediate appeal to network engineers, designers, managers and system adminstrators and will also become essential reading for hardware/software developers and postgraduate students.

ATM Signalling Illustrated,
By Joerg B. Micheel (Hamilton, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ATM Signalling: Protocols and Practice (Hardcover)
Ever been looking for an ATM version of W Richard Steven's TCP/IP Illustrated ? This book is it.ATM is difficult, the authors do not try to hide the tough bits or oversimplify. They want to help people who run live ATM networks with Signalling, LAN Emulation, and emerging native ATM applications. They show the facts, explain the protocol flows at hand and via the TINA suite of protocol decoders (equivalents to the familiar tcpdump debugging tool) allow network adminstrators and developers to locate and eliminate real life ATM problems. One of the books you'll keep in reach of your desk.
