From the Back Cover
A comprehensive, professional guide to designing ATM networks.
No technology is more critical to modern communications than Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). This fast packet switching method maximizes bandwidth capacity, reduces technical and performance problems in networks, and functions across any line-twisted pair, coaxial cable, or fiber optic. In this superb guide from two leading experts, you'll find complete, topnotch help with every step in the design, selection, and application of ATM switching in broadband networks. Clearly written and fully illustrated, this book clarifies every aspect of this complex and important field. You get step-by-step guidance on:
- maximizing performance in any network environment
- efficiently managing traffic and capacity
- analyzing, comparing, and selecting routing policies
- use of traffic models for network dimensioning
- describing switches from Nortel, AT&T, Fujitsu, IBM, NEC, Siemens, Bay, Cascade, Cisco, FORE, and others
- use of topical components to design switches/networks for multimedia and backbone services
- increasing efficiency in routers and hubs
- clearing up bottlenecks in LANs and WANs
- diminishing jitter in time-sensitive voice and video traffic; reducing cell loss and cell error probability
- cascading ATM switches in parallel for Gibbs speed.
No matter what your ATM question, Designing ATM Switching Networks has the answer.

Outstanding.,
This review is from: Designing ATM Switching Networks (Paperback)
A very good book that helped me along with the Black book ATM Vol III. Heavy stuff, but worth wading through.
