ISDN and Broadband ISDN with Frame Relay and ATM

0.0

This book provides a comprehensive, authoritative overview of the technology and standards of ISDN and Broadband ISDN. It is the only textbook treatment of ISDN and comes complete with numerous pedagogical features. Salient Features Presents the most complete and authoritative exploration of ISDN available in a text of this kind. Provides thorough coverage of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) including the new technology, standards, and other developments in this leading-edge area. Provides a discussion of frame relay that incorporates the most important advances in both technology and standards in this area crucial to ISDN and private networks. Provides a full treatment of standards, the key determining factor in ISDN and B-ISDN. Students will gain a valuable understanding of the various standards, including, among others. ITU-T recommendations. Frame Relay Forum specifications. ATM Forum specifications. Contains a wealth of pedagogical features (e.g. homework problems, glossary, list of acronyms, and chapter summaries) to facilitate learning, making this the only true textbook-style treatment of ISDN. About The Author William Stallings has made a unique contribution to understanding the broad sweep of technical developments in computer networking and computer architecture. He has authored 18 titles, and counting revised editions, a total of 35 books on various aspects of these subjects. In over 20 years in the field, he has been a technical contributor, technical manager, and an executive with several high-technology firms. Currently he is an independent consultant whose clients have included computer and networking manufacturers and customers, software development firms, and leading-edge government research institutions.He has six times received the prize for best Computer Science and Engineering textbook of the year from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association. Bill has designed and implemented both TCP/IP-based and OSI-based protocol suites on a variety of computers and operating systems, ranging from microcomputers to mainframes. As a consultant, he has advised government agencies, computer and software vendors, and major users on the design, selection, and use of networking software and products. Dr. Stallings holds a Ph.D. from M.I.T. in Computer Science and a B.S. from Notre Dame in Electrical Engineering. Table of Contents 1. Introduction. I. DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS FUNDAMENTALS. 2.
