Riassunto

Being connected to the Internet means that technical professionals designing and running the network must keep tabs on the technical rules (standards) and updates. However, the only source for standards is a huge flat, online list of what's called RFCs (Requests for Comments) of every technical rule and improvement ever proposed. This list includes thousands of documents, many of which are in process, irrelevant, out-of-date, or obsolete. Most frustrating for network professionals is that there is no analysis, no guidance, no way to keep current for what the standards mean to what they're doing, just a list. This is one volume from the Internet Standards Series, providing analysis and guidance. Based on the author's exhaustive analysis of all the RFCs, each book in the Series provides a step-by-step action plan for integrating the right standard to the right application. This text looks at ATMs, discussing what it is, how it works, how it differs from other popular network media and how they work within accepted Internet Protocols.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Complete coverage and analysis of official ATM standards and protocols The Internet Standards Series provides analysis of the latest RFCs (Request for Comments) and guidance on their potential use. It is a convenient source that categorizes the standards, summarizes the important ones, and shows you where to look for all the details. Each book includes a step–by–step action plan for integrating the right standard to the right application. Finding and addressing the ATM standards that are critical to your network can be very difficult, especially considering that there are over 2,600 RFCs to search through. This book/CD–ROM conveniently organizes and analyzes the RFCs that are relevant to ATM networks and protocols. With its accessible approach, youíll gain a better understanding of Internet standards including the IP over ATM approach (IPOA), LAN Emulation (LANE), and Multiprotocol over ATM (MPOA). Pete Loshin guides you through the salient protocols, explains how the underlying protocols work, and shows you how to administer, secure, and design your network utilizing these protocols. He also provides:
∗ A comprehensive introduction to Internet standards for ATM
∗ The process of turning a proposed specification into a full Internet standard
∗ Tips and techniques to find the exact RFC that you need
∗ Lists of Web sites that contain additional information about RFCs and Internet standards
∗ The most up–to–date ATM protocol information

The CD–ROM contains a fully searchable, digital edition of the book in PDF format. Click on the embedded hyperlinks to conveniently access each and every RFC or protocol referenced in the text directly from the rfc–editor.org site. A copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader is also included. The companion Web site at www.Internet–Standard.com features:
∗ The latest information about Internet standards
∗ Additional news related to standards
∗ Updates
