Quality of Service for ATM Networks Unknown - 1999

From the publisher

Efficient deployment of multi-service ATM networks. The convergence of multiple networks into single multi-service networks has resulted in explosive growth in the deployment of ATM technology. As increasing numbers of business-critical applications depend on ATM, meeting the quality of service requirements demanded by the various applications, while still achieving efficient resource usage, becomes a critical objective. Quality of Service in ATM Networks brings together the latest traffic management techniques that enable a network to meet such objectives. Network engineers will learn the generic elements required to manage the quality of the multiple services deployed on the network, the implementation of these elements and their relative value with respect to complexity and efficiency. Quality of Service in ATM Networks discusses the following areas: * Traffic conformance-conformance definitions, policing, shaping and soft-policing * Connection admission control * Queuing, scheduling and switching * Flow and congestion control * Managing IP and Frame Relay traffic over ATM networks * Example of a scaleable network design * The traffic contract Based on the up-to-date standard
