Remember the old days of eight or nine years ago when telephone lines were primarily used for voice communication? Now, today's world of electronic communication has three distinct information infrastructures. In addition, many other types of communication technologies operate over privately installed transmission media. Many networking and communications professionals agree that these communication technologies will eventually be merged into one streamlined network infrastructure designed to support the transmission of any type of information.
However, there are hurdles and new technologies must be developed to overcome them. One of the most promising is Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). This transmission, switching, and multiplexing technology promises to be important in developing a successful integrated communication strategy. Within the scope of this book, legendary computer guru James Martin and co-authors Kathleen Kavanaugh Chapman and Joe Leben provide an in-depth exploration of ATM, emphasizing its critical role in the future of communication network technology. Asynchronous Transfer Mode: ATM Architecture and Implementation will prove to be a valuable resource for anyone involved in information systems and network administration.

ATM architecture and Implementation,
By craig waller (Dallas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asynchronous Transfer Mode: ATM Architecture and Implementation (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for anyone who wants a straight forward explanation of what ATM is and how it functions. First of all, the book is not to long; so when you look back through the book, you can easily find the information you want. Secondly, it is laid out in a logical format; you don't have to read a ton of pages before getting the answers you are looking for. Other books spread information about a specific topic throughout the book. With this book, you can learn the concepts you are looking for on a single page. This books strongest attribute is how the information is presented. Related information is presented simultaneously, not hidden until the next chapter. When I was writing a research paper on ATM, I found this book to be my favorite by far.
