Walter Goralski Books

This book will emphasize services instead of bits-&-bytes, and contrast frame relay to competing technologies in the fast packet suite. Goralski will start from the premise that readers have certain business problems to solve (in other words, applications to deliver to demanding business users) and proceed to explain (a) how frame technologies can be gathered into existing systems and (b) how frame-enabled systems can be exploited for cost-effective solutions.Older literature on frame relay approaches the technology from the perspective of the public data networks. This will be one of the first books to consider frame relay as the private data network of tomorrow.

Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network technology is hot! It has overcome the limitations of LAN and WAN technologies to solve problems that have plagued network designers from the start - from information transfer delays to error handling and congestion.Now this much-needed guide offers the first definitive treatment of ATM networking, covering everything from the fundamentals of building, using and maintaining ATM networks to advanced applications such as broadband data transfers, multimedia, and video.Written by a member of the ATM Forum, this is the ATM bible that telecommunications specialists, network designers, implementors, managers, planners, and support personnel have been waiting for.
