Nearly 10 years ago, ATM emerged as a key technology to meet the challenges of increased demand for digital communications, the need for any type of traffic to be carried over the network, and the need for flexibility in dividing bandwidth. Today, many administrators are turning to ATM as a robust solution to the limitations of legacy core technologies. ATM is a multiservice platform that combines both data-oriented and delay-sensitive traffic and provides more efficient bandwidth utilization and end-systems integration. The combination of ATM networks with current protocols, most notably Internet protocol (IP), may contribute to making ATM the leading networking technology to support voice, data, and video in both local-area networks (LAN) and wide-area networks (WAN) with the ability to support transmission rates of up to gigabits per second. This volume provides an in-depth examination of ATM technologies and implementation as well as a discussion of how ATM can help achieve the potential of the emerging next-generation packet network. The success of ATM is driven by cost and necessity. The rapid increase of digital data transmission demands more bandwidth, and, with current technologies, costs are prohibitive. The authors argue that ATM provides fast switching and makes the management and control of internetworking considerably easier. It also supports transmission by which all types of traffic—particularly audio, video, and data—can be sent. These characteristics, the authors claim, make ATM uniquely suited to meet the integrated networking demands of today and tomorrow. With all of ATM's successful attributes, particularly the fact that it transcends all communication-service domains, it is imperative to examine the challenges facing a widespread migration to ATM. The academic and industry experts included in this volume provide such an examination, offering cutting-edge insight into the development and deployment of ATM technology.
