Description: This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the technology and standards of ISDN and broadband ISDN, with emphasis on frame relay and ATM. It presents ISDN in detail, including services, technology, and interfaces, and covers the latest standards such as the ITU-T Recommendations and the Frame Relay Forum specifications. Also covered is the key technology of frame relay, which examines frame relay protocols and services as well as frame relay congestion control.

Equally comprehensive treatment is given to broadband ISDN, including the latest standards such as the ITU-T recommendations and the ATM Forum specifications. The book also devotes key sections to discussion of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and to examination of protocols, services, the ATM Adaption Layer (AAL), and ATM traffic and congestion control.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 553-560) and index.
