Abstract: The first half of this decade saw landmark advances in
the communication industry, particularly in broadband
technologies. The next generation communication networks will be
based on fast switching and streamlined protocols, and the
impact of high-capacity broadband networks on application
developers and users will be nothing short of revolutionary.
Designing and implementing network infrastructures that support
the multimedia services are critical to the business success in
the 90s and beyond. This course brings needed perspective to
students seeking to understand high speed networks and services.
The course focuses its learning on a thorough understanding of
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), a major technology that is
anticipated to play a major role in shaping networking of the
future, and its coexistence with IP networks. Course Benefits:
The course provides an in-depth description of the ATM
technology. The ATM protocol architecture is discussed in depth
and ATM technical considerations and imp
