The second edition of ATM Networks has been revised to focus on the substantial changes in ATM technology that have occured over the past two years, and also to include new implementation experience that has been gained as ATM services and deployments have matured. The book focuses on the practical aspects of ATM and is still the only book focusing on implementing ATM by providing actual examples. It describes current ATM standards and methods of supporting higher level services and provides practical guidance on how to build an ATM network.
