DESCRIPTION
Not only is ATM the best available means to greater transmission capacity, it has also the best potential to meet the needs for sophisticated service control, distributed network oversight, efficient operation, and improved flexibility.Planning and Managing ATM Networks covers strategic planning, initial deployment, overall management, and the day-to-day operation of ATM networks. It defines steps to determine requirements for ATM networks, as ATM implementation becomes widespread in the corporate enterprise network. It describes fundamental management concepts and procedures, including fault and configuration management, performance management, accounting, and security.
What's inside:
- ATM network management services
- ATM performance metrics and objectives
- Support staff requirements
- Integrating ATM technology with existing LAN/WAN systems
- Standards for ATM management
