Abstract
For the foreseeable future a significant percentage of devices using
an ATM network will do so indirectly, and will continue to be directly
attached to "legacy" media (such as Ethernet and token ring). In
addition these devices will continue to utilize "legacy" internetwork
layer protocols (for example, IP, IPX, APPN, etc.). This means that in
order to effectively use ATM, there must be efficient methods
available for operating multiple internetwork layer protocols over
heterogeneous networks built from ATM switches, routers, and other
switched devices. This challenge is commonly referred to as the
operation of multiprotocol over ATM.
This book reviews the various options for the transport and support of
multiprotocols over ATM.
This book was written for networking consultants, systems specialists,
system planners, network designers and network administrators who need
to learn about SVN and associated protocols in order to design and
deploy networks that utilize components from this framework. It
provides readers with the ability to differentiate between the
different offerings. A working knowledge of ATM is assumed.
It is intended to be used with "High-Speed Networking Technology: An
Introductory Survey", which describes methods for data transmission in
high speed networks, and "Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM) Technical
Overview", which describes ATM, a link-level protocol using the methods
described in "High-Speed Networking Technology: An Introductory Survey"
to transmit various types of data together over the same physical
links. This book describes the networking protocols that use ATM as
the underlying link level protocol.
