ATM

A companion and sequel to ATM: Foundation for Broadband Networks from the same series. For engineers and students describes in detail the broadband signaling specifications used with asynchronous transfer mode. Considers the identifiers used to recognize users and traffic, machines that manage the traffic, signaling at all levels including user-to-network and network-to-network interfaces, call and connection control operations, interfaces and mapping between the various systems, parameters for messaging, and typical error codes. The CiP data cites the title of the first volume rather than the second. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
