Although a promising new technology, the ATM standard has certain limitations for implementation into commercial products. This unique book offers a realistic, in-depth evaluation of what the new generation of high-speed switches can and cannot deliver. The book discusses the ATM standard, including user requirements, technical challenges, current equipment limitations, and necessary ancillary components. It examines high-speed network challenges, presents the first generation of switching systems currently available as commercial products, addresses unfulfilled switching requirements, and poses possible approaches for switch design in the future. The book answers many important questions such as: Are ATM standards mature enough to warrant investment in ATM products? Are current ATM products fully capable of performing production tasks? Can current ATM products be used to build multi-vendor networks? What operational capabilities are available to manage ATM networks?
