Review

"...focuses on the fundamental architectural principles and protocols used..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002)

From the Back Cover

A comprehensive guide to the architecture and components of ATM and IP Internetworking technologies

Over the past decade, ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) technology has become the most promising and capable networking technology for the support of multimedia services, including voice, data, and video signals. Sourcebook of ATM and IP Internetworking provides a comprehensive, detailed description of the fundamental architectural principles and protocols used in ATM-based networks, as well as interworking with IP- and Frame Relay-based networks.

Khalid Ahmad's peerless text includes a sophisticated treatment of the most important new area of ATM, IP switching, which allows telecommunications companies to combine IP routing with ATM switching to communicate data as quickly and cost efficiently as possible. In stressing the similarities and differences between ATM and related networking technologies, such as Frame Relay (FR), Internetworking Protocol (IP), and MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS), the Sourcebook provides the reader with a deep understanding of the evolutionary trends in the development of ATM. Major subject areas covered include:
* ATM traffic management, congestion control, and signaling (control) protocols
* B-ISDN- and PNNI-based addressing, routing, and signaling mechanisms
* ATM layer OAM, protection switching, and their relation to network management protocols and survivability
* ATM adaptation layer (AAL) protocols and services
* QOS-based IP mechanisms
* MPLS
* Future internetworking architecture trends

With its emphasis on ATM and IP architecture, protocols, and procedures, Sourcebook of ATM and IP Internetworking proves an authoritative reference for information technology engineers, network planners, and Internet service providers striving to meet real-world networking needs as well as for students pursuing the study of network technology at the upper undergraduate or graduate level.

Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
The basic principles of ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) can be characterized as follows: ATM is a specific packet-oriented transfer mode in which the digitized information from any source (e.g., voice samples, data packets, video image frames, etc.) is organized into blocks of fixed size called "cells." Read the first page
