Abstract

From the Publisher:ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a technique in telecommunications which transmits information (including data, voice and images) over digital networks. Written by a highly regarded author and expert in the field (with a background in communications and computer systems) this text is aimed towards the undergraduate level. Despite numerous titles written about this subject, this is the first book to offer students and networking engineers a complete overview of ATM Networks. The importance of ATM networks is widely appreciated, with the increasing number of ATM courses being added to a greater number of university's curricula. Research is also developing to stress its necessity for backbone networks. Perros's approach is to lay down the foundations in the first few chapters by discussing its history and development and progresses to all appropriate aspects connected with ATM such as signalling, architecture, transmission and standards. * Introductory text into ATM Networks, including their development, architecture and signalling * Contains extensive glossary covering all the abbreviations and terms relating to ATM Networks * Rapidly growing area in both research and academic disciplines * Provides the reader with a qualitative description of the functions and operations inherent to various aspects of high-speed ATM Networks
