This review is from: Internetworking ATM: For the Internet and Enterprise Networks (Paperback)

Since I bought this book, I can hardly keep it on my desk. All of our engineers constantly steal it for reference and definitions of various components within the ATM networking world. Personally, I've completly spun myself up on ATM, solely from this book. I would strongly recommend it as a starter manual and professional reference.
