Understanding Broadband Networks

ISDN, Frame Relay, SMDS and ATM

Business Communication has taken a major step forward as ISDN, Frame Relay, SMDS and ATM technologies enable companies to implement high-bandwidth applications such as intranets, web access, and multimedia. This tutorial will provide a detailed understanding of what is shaping networking strategies in those areas. Each technology is examined from three different perspectives: the architecture, the protocols, and the applications.
