Networks constructed with current ATM protocol design standards exceed by far former network capabilities. Unfortunately, this new ATM power and flexibility come at the cost of greater complexity. With the detailed coverage of the entire set of protocols in this book, you can be equal to the task. If you're a network manager or designer responsible for planning, building or managing an enterprise or campus network, this book is for you.

Learn what signaling is, what it can and cannot do, and exactly what your network's equipment must support for application use. This book describes the important evolving communication capabilities of public networks -- and the ensuing opportunities for designing sophisticated enterprise networks supporting user applications such as high-speed data, multimedia, multipoint videoconferencing, and high-resolution image transfer.

A companion reference to the author's Internetworking Handbook that provides network managers a single source for all the major multivendor software commands. File structures of UNIX, MVS, DEC, OS/40 etc., and all the most frequently used commands included in this one-stop, indispensable reference.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the high-speed networking technology that promises to speed up bogged down networks with mixed LAN and WAN environments. This book offers a "how to" approach to ATM implementation from the perspective of network specialists responsible for the design, deployment, and day-to-day operation of the ATM-based network. Covers fault management, performance management, configuration management, accounting management, security management, LAN emulation and virtual LANs. For corporate network planners and managers interested in bringing ATM to the organization.

This example-laden book/disk combination is a practical resource for communications professionals who are interested in the nuts and bolts of implementing data communications systems using object-oriented design in C++. The author illustrates such fundamental data communications concepts as layering, flow control, sliding window protocols, and error detection and recovery.

Network benchmarking is the in-depth comparison of network management functions and instruments of two or more companies in order to establish quantifiable indicators of network management efficiency. For both clients and benchmarking companies, this text assists benchmarking by identifying benchmarking phases, procedures, and instruments, with examples, based on practical cases, to accelerate the implementation of benchmarking techniques. It targets management processes, instruments, standards, and human resources for benchmarking a network. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
