From the Back Cover
Learn how to optimize your resources when deploying ATM! Most Fortune 500 companies today are considering or have already implemented an ATM to speed data transfer over their network. Nevertheless, the management of resources in ATM and other multiservice networksies extremely complex, due to the wide range of services, time scales, and performance constraints that need to be integrated and addressed. This unique reference provides invaluable guidance that will help network managers more effectively implement and maintain ATM networks within the parameters of their available resources. The author presents a systematic framework for more intelligent decision making. No other reference so seamlessly or sensibly merges state-of-the-art network theory with real-world dollars-and-cents issues.
