Description

Despite the rapid advancement of signaling in B-ISDN during recent years, standards documents have remained the primary information source for ATM signaling. Unfortunately, these are hard to understand and make standards implementation difficult at best. This new book provides the solution: one comprehensive reference to signaling in ATM networks that describes current ATM signaling standards in a form that is both easy to read and understand. This unique resource not only details ATM signaling but also discusses why, when, and how to use each signaling feature. It covers UNI 3.1, UNI 4.0, and P-NNI signaling, as well as point-to-point and point-to-multipoint signaling. In addition, it provides detailed coverage of ABR traffic signaling and negotiation. The book is an important reference for developers, systems designers, researchers, graduate students, users, and others who need to keep up-to-date with recent advances in order to understand and/or implement current standards in signaling.
