Synopsis

The emergence of multimedia applications, the trend towards client/server computing environments, and the increasing number of MIPS (Multimedia Information Presentation System) on the desktop has driven the demand for a flexible, high performance networking technology, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). ATM combines the benefits of two well established communications technologies: traditional packet switching and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and is the first technology that can be deployed in both wide and local area networks. This text provides a survey of the state of broadband-ISDN technology (B-ISDN), providing comprehensive coverage of the standards of B-ISDN and ATM. It begins by outlining the origin and evolution of ATM, discussing its current status for both local and wide area networks. The volume then moves on to provide an outline of B-ISDN ATM architecture, adaption layer protocols and a comprehensive guide to Synchronous Digital Hardware (SDH).

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

The complete, up-to-date ATM guide for every network planner, designer, implementer, and manager.

• ATM network planning, design, testing, deployment, troubleshooting, and security
• New standards, including Loop Emulation Service over AAL-2 and frame-based ATM
• Test and selection criteria for ATM network components and cable infrastructure
• ATM network operation, including traffic control, performance parameters, and testing
• Detailed coverage of ATM security standards and techniques

Despite the arrival of Packet over SONET/SDH, one technology is at the heart of today's most important broadband and wireless networks: ATM. ATM Networks combines a complete and authoritative description of ATM standards with practical solutions for the key challenges facing ATM network implementers and managers. Clear, concise, and fully up to date, it covers every element and variant of current ATM networks, offering specific best practices for design, testing, deployment, troubleshooting, and security. Coverage includes:

• How ATM evolved to become the world's universal platform for networked communications
• Up-to-the-minute standards coverage, including ATM over Plastic Optical Fiber, Loop Emulation Service over AAL-2, frame-based ATM, and secure ATM
• ATM network planning, design, and migration techniques
• Test and selection criteria for ATM network components
• In-depth coverage of security and cable infrastructure issues
• ATM network operation: traffic control mechanisms, performance parameters, and test methods

Key information is included for network designers, implementers, and managers, including ATM UNI and NNI signaling protocol messages and information elements, parameters and limitations for high speed cabling systems, and ATM Forum contact information.

Présentation de l'éditeur

From xDSL to 3G wireless, one technology is at the heart of today's most important broadband networks: ATM. This book brings together the most comprehensive, complete description of ATM standards and practical solutions for the key issues facing ATM network implementers and managers. Othmar Kyas and Gregan Crawford begin by reviewing the evolution of ATM technology, the problems it has been designed to solve, and the latest generation of ATM applications. Next, they systematically address the elements of ATM networks, covering all ATM variants and the latest ATM standards. ATM Networks then offers specific guidance on ATM network design, testing, and troubleshooting, as well as detailed techniques for protecting ATM networks against hacker attacks. For all network professionals designing, implementing, managing, maintaining, or supporting ATM networks in a wide range of service provider and enterprise environments.
