As ATM is increasingly deployed in corporate networks, professionals increasingly encounter the complex issues of internetworking ATM with other protocols, migrating existing LANs or WANs -- even interconnecting ATM networks.

Learn specific approaches for interconnecting multiple ATM networks; and ways to deploy ATM in stages, starting with only part of your network. Understand your options for running TCP/IP traffic over ATM, including IP traffic over ATM; classical IP over ATM; Multiprotocol over ATM, and the LAN emulation approach, which delivers fast connectivity by using an ATM switch as a hub in a LAN. Learn how to integrate IPX, Ethernet, Token-Ring, Frame Relay and other widely-used technologies into your ATM network. This is the third book in Uyless Black's authoritative ATM trilogy. It is based on the author's breakthrough PBS-sponsored closed circuit course on high-speed networking.
