Asychronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a data transmission protocol that can handle voice, data and video at the same time. This book aims to put ATM in proper perspective by comparing it with older, more established technologies. The book provides an explanation of what ATM is and a critical evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses. It also examines the hardware and software required for ATM, with an emphasis on cost and capabilities. In addition, the book assesses transmission protocols and standards, as well as alternatives to ATM. Finally, case studies are provided of ATM in action.
