Synopsis

This book will help network engineers take better advantage of ATM technology for their transport network planning. ATM Transport and Network Integrity offers useful information for network planners to design and evolve cost-effective networks. The book focuses on methods of network design to ensure proper network function under stress, such as congestion or failure. ATM Transport and Network Integrity discusses the most efficient methods of support for broadband service and control transport in high-speed transport networks, network services, and transport architectures and control and management. It covers in detail the differences between ATM and STM transport and how these differences affect transportnetwork planning and engineering.

Key Features
* End-to-end networking, including information, signaling and control transport
* Broadband network integrity, including traffic management for network congestion and traffic restoration for network failure conditions
* Pioneer of SONET and ATM self-healing networks
* Case study description and implications
* Good insights for future IP-over-ATM network design and planning

About this title

From the Back Cover

This book provides technical insights into the use of unique ATM technology characteristics to design a cost-effective broadband SONET/ATM network. The key network components addressed in the book include: information transport signaling and contro transport, traffic management and control to prevent the network from congestion and minimize the impacts once the congestion occurs, and ntwork restoration after the network component fails. It also provides the status of the standardization efforts. The unique feature of this book is in its end-to-end networking approach under a variety of network scenarios including normal network conditions, network congestion condition and network failure conditions. The book will help network researchers, planners and engineers to plan and design cost-effective survivable SONET/ATM networks for emerging telecommunications services, as well as future IP-over-ATM networking applications.
