Description
ATM Network Performance, Second Edition
, describes approaches to computer and communication network management at the ATM layer of the protocol hierarchy. The focus is on satisfying quality-of-service requirements for individual connections. Results in both areas of bandwidth scheduling and traffic control are explained. Recent results in end-to-end performance, provisioning for video connections and statistical multiplexing are also described. All of the material has been updated where appropriate and new references added and expanded.
Timely updates:
Timely updates:
- Entirely new chapter on ATM switches with an emphasis on scalable-to-terabit switching.
- New material on round-robin scheduling, jitter control, QoS paradigms as well as special treatment of fluid modeling and variable bit rate channel capacity.
- Expanded coverage of CBR channels, IP over ATM, and guaranteed-rate performance.
- Substantial increase in end-of-chapter exercises. Solutions for selected exercises in separate appendix. Complete solutions for all exercises also available from author.
