Beschreibung

Hardcover. The diversity of methodologies and applications in the literature for the performance modelling and analysis of ATM networks, widely considered as a new generation of high speed communication systems, attests to the breadth and richness of recent ATM research and developments. This work contains 17 tutorial papers by researchers and practitioners in the ATM field worldwide. It offers a source of reference, reflecting state-of-the-art material for further research and development in the performance evaluation and applications field of ATM networks. Topics discussed in this book include: ATM traffic modelling and characterization; ATM traffic management and control; ATM routing and network resilience; IP/ATM networks integration; optical, wireless and satelite networks; analytical techniques for ATM networks. The text maintains throughout an effective balance between descriptive and quantitative approaches for the presentation of important ATM mechanisms and performance evaluation techniques. It unifies ATM performance modelling material that is already well known and introduces readers to some less familiar and unexplored ATM performance evaluation and application research areas.It is ideal for personnel in computer/communication industries as well as academic researchers in computer science and electrical engineering. Performance Evaluation and Applications of ATM Networks contains seventeen tutorial papers by researchers and practitioners in the ATM field worldwide. It offers a fundamental source of reference, reflecting material for further research and development in the performance evaluation and applications field of ATM networks.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Information Highways are widely considered as the next generation of high speed communication systems. These highways will be based on emerging Broadband Integrated Services Digital Networks (B-ISDN), which - at least in principle - are envisioned to support not only all the kinds of networking applications known today but also future applications which are not as yet understood fully or even anticipated. Thus, B-ISDNs release networking processes from the limitations which the communications medium has imposed historically. The operational generality stems from the versatility of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) which is the transfer mode adopted by ITU-T for broadband public ISDN as well as wide area private ISDN. A transfer mode which provides the transmission, multiplexing and switching core that lies at the foundations of a communication network. ATM is designed to integrate existing and future voice, audio, image and data services. Moreover, ATM aims to minimise the complexity of switching and buffer management, to optimise intermediate node processing and buffering and to bound transmission delays. These design objectives are met at high transmission speeds by keeping the basic unit of ATM transmission - the ATM cell - short and of fixed length.
