Description
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a protocol that allows data, sound and video being transferred between independent networks via ISDN
links to be supplied to, and interpreted by, the various system protocols.
ATM and Internet Protocol explains the working of the ATM
and B-ISDN network for readers with a basic understanding of telecommunications. It provides a handy reference to everyone working with
ATM who may not require the full standards in detail, but need a comprehensive guide to ATM. A substantial section is devoted to the
problems of running IP over ATM and there is some discussion of Frame Relay.
Audience:
Telecommunications managers and engineers in industry. MSc telecommunications courses. Senior undergraduate electronic engineers specialising in telecommunications.
