ATM is one of the key technologies used to support high-quality multimedia services. However, high-quality features, such as scaleability, high bandwidth and quality of service have resulted in a high level of complexity. The ATM signalling stadards are driven by two orgenisations: the ITU-T and the ATM Forum and can be difficult to understand, especially for people without experience in standardisation work. Highly parctical in its apporach, ATM Signalling will explain all you need to know about how things really work, how to interpret the behaviour of systems, what problems may aeise and how to find the solutions to such problems.
